    Needs a polish..

    Been adrift for a few days with a family drama, but on my return I was given this little stove by an old oppo. He found it lurking under a bench in a shed at the house he's just bought..







    Time to break out the steel wool and Brasso...Shiney photos to follow..

    I'm in luck Rune, there's a supplier of spares for many of the very old oil lanterns and stoves not far from where I live. The stove will need a full refit as it appears to have been unused for many many years.
