I’ve acquired another stove. A Hipolito No 1. I oiled the pump and decided to give it a test. The seals hold well enough for it to run. It burned very green to start but after putting the kettle on and bringing it to a boil it was burning much better.
Lovely stove. I have only one Hipolito, a No.2, I think it's really well made. I prefer these No.1 feet/leg holders to the No.2 collapsible ones.
@gnome A very nice original condition No 1 as you know when a stove has not been lit for a while they usually burn green for a little while, great score there
