    I acquired this recently in Wagga Wagga, NSW.

    The tank appears to be nickel-plated brass.

    There is some additional solder around the base of the angulated hexagonal riser:

    The pump shaft has been replaced (by one too long):

    The filler cap is cast brass and incorporates the air-bleed screw (with a little additional solder around the base of the filler):

    It came with a SVEA roarer burner (which had a piece missing out of its side), that was completely occluded. I had also acquired another identical burner which I was able to de-coke:

    No identification markings anywhere:

    The NRV (despite replacement of its pip with Viton material) still has a slow leak, but it didn’t prevent firing up:

    A god flame after the nipple was replaced by a hypodermic-sleeved one:

    I thought that rather than double-posting (in Rusty but Running), I put it straight into the gallery…
    Thanks!

    A really unique item.
