Hey all, is there anyone here that might know anything about this old camp stove I found? It's very cool looking and would like to know more about what I have on my hands here. Thanks!!!
For future reference. We have a "Camping, Hiking, and Cooking" Section on here. You might try posting there.
Yes Patrick, crazy to think that was state of the art back in 1896, that is the about the only thing I know about this stove.
Go here and post this up with pics and all info on stove. http://www.griswoldandwagner.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?catselect=CLUB If they cant figure it out noone can. Looks like an old Griswold stove
I can't help either but I sure enjoyed the pictures of your find. That is a really cool camp stove! Mike
Well I've piece together a very small amount of information. Mainly from a paper ad for the stove in a hardware catalogue from 1896. The page from the catalogue is being sold on Ebay. The guys from spirit burner.com are about as mystified as myself. I have not tried the griswold blog yet. I posted it on Craigslist to see what kind of interest there is in it. To be totally honest I'm more then a little concerned about firing this thing up, although the valves are in great condition. Overall, I just don't know what to do with it.
