    This was going to be a candidate for the 'Rusty but Running' thread. But an hour with Auto-Sol, a bit of oil to the pump leather, a flame spreader, and nothing else ; and it was working like a 'good-un'! So its now here in the reference gallery as a fairly decent example of one of the minority of 1925 ('O') stoves to have been fitted with an older, un-flanged, filler cap as opposed to the 'new' flanged cap which came into use that year.

    Great flame! And despite the obviously poor storage, that looks like a really well preserved example of the earlier type of pressed steel top ring...
