I’ve seen that filler cap and air screw before…. Looking forward to seeing under the grime. Cheers Tony @Mark Mulvaney
@Mark Mulvaney Ha! I knew I’d seen that pressure release screw before… Gilbert J. McCaul (1954) These Gilbert J McCaul stoves aren’t that common, but seem to have marketed in Australia. Period: 1950s. Is there a date stamp anywhere? Cheers Tony @Sedgman
In this thread David Shouksmith made a connection to Monitor. I think he is spot on, as the stove here seems to be a Monitor 15 with different engravings/transfer. Compare to this example: Diagonal style of engraving, shape of legs, shape of spirit cup, pump assembly... Only some batches of Monitor stoves were date stamped, these all seemingly being for military/civil defence contracts. I'd suggest somewhere around the 1950 date, the message from the British government to industry was still 'export or die', so it would make sense to produce these badge engineered versions for the export market.
