    Here are some pics of my 111B. I believe this one dates from the 50s or at least pre 1962 given the embossed lid, and stile of the 1295745312-IMG_1349_opt.jpg 1295745343-IMG_1352_opt.jpg 1295745374-IMG_1355_opt.jpg control wheel. I have allways liked these neetly boxed stoves. Both the 8R and the 111, but the 111 is my favorate. I just got this one and did very little clean up on it. Of corse I did the neccesary NRV service and replaced the filler cap gasket before I lit it. But after that it fired up and rored to life. Enjoy the pics.

    What a beautiful stove! Is the color blue or green? I have found a close match for the blue but not the green.

    Try Rustoleum Hammerite Green.
    Looks like the original!
    Hammerite Blue is good for the 8R types too.

    The color is blue. I beleave it the origanal paint. In fact I would not be suprised if I were the first person to have lit it. Amazing how we either find these stoves used allmost to death. Or bought with the best intentions of doing some out door sporting, and then just left unnused on a shelf for years untill one of us gets ahold of it. I have the origanal paper tag that came on the stove. I'll get a picture of it and post it here as soon as I can (may be next week).
