    I acquired this stove on the way to picking up this trove of goodies for @Tony Press in Melbourne for transport to Tasmania:

    This is my first encounter with a Coleman pump assembly:

    It has an un-embossed burner:

    Base doesn't reveal anything:

    Today I completed its fettle and fired it up (it's stilly windy), before taking it inside:

    It appears on pp. 15-16 of the second part of this Coleman-Thomas catalogue:
