    Can anyone assist with identification ?

    I am thinking a Handi model ? The fount is copper like this linked model below.

    I found a (hopefully similar) model on another thread on this forum ;

    Handi Stovette (single; silent)

    Any estimate on value ?

    Is the burner installed in the stove an alcohol burner like the one lying next to it? Did the stove come with both burners?

    @TimmyScraps

    Handi stoves usually have the filler cap stamped “HANDI”, and a place somewhere on the pot frame where a Handi badge is/was clipped or screwed on. The tank filler on a Handi is also placed at one end of the tank.


    Can you please check for any stampings on the stove? I note that the outer cap on the burner is Hipolito, but it’s not a Hipolito stove. More photos of the burner would also be useful.


    Cheers

    Tony

    Seems to be a Handi Stove as @Tony Press is intimating. Things don’t add up though and the requested photos may indeed clarify what has gone on here.
