Thanks for posting this. I just found this very model at our local flea market here in Ct.. Mine is in rougher condition but it should clean up. Seemed too cool to pass up
I’m not familiar with this particular brand, but it seems very similar to a Coleman style stove. It seems to have a familiar set up and operation. I have several Coleman stoves from the 1950’s to the 1980’s and they all work like brand new!!! We used “white gas” in our stoves and lanterns. White gas was unleaded gas and was sold at Amoco gas stations on the east coast. That stove has some patina but looks like it can run another 50 or 60 years!!! Thanks for sharing your video!!
Thanks Dave. I believe Prentiss-Wabers (PW) was a competetor to Coleman at the time this stove was made. I live in Canada and bought the stove here but can't find any evidence they were ever sold here so it likely came from the US originally. Not obvious in my video, and different from the later Coleman's you own, is the external pump for pressurizing the fuel tank. It's like a small bicycle tire pump. Very neat. Thanks again for commenting! Cheers,
