    Picked this up at a car boot sale (and nearly put my back out). It is a Safety Stove and is in a fetching shade of battleship grey and rust with the bright orange tank. The catalogue (catalog[usa]) states the colour (color) should be russet green and it cost considerably more than the 28/6, £1:42.5p. $2.00.

    Does anyone know if grey was an original paint choice or should it be green?

    I believe it is from the thirties, can anyone confirm this?

    Thanks

    Excellent project and solid user, I'd say. :thumbup: The orange tank sets off the brass nicely and makes me think the case should be a nice foresty green if you are trad, or army camo if you aren't. :mrgreen:
