So, I didn't exactly find this beauty when I was out junkin' this past weekend, but I found its older cousin: a vintage, teal green kerosene campstove in lovely condition. While this model has been given over to brass fixtures and a metal fuel tank, my version (which sadly I have yet to take a picture of--sorry, folks) has porcelain tripod knobs and a banded glass fuel tank that cleverly flips over to release the fuel into the stove by way of a pressure-sensitive switch in the screwtop lid. I've been searching for an outdoor stove to do canning on, and I think my vintage beauty will do the trick. Plus, the price difference is quite lovely: The pictured new model, available from Lehman's catalog, is just shy of $900 plus tax and shipping. My vintage beauty? Around $100, tax included and it fit easily into the back of Lucille Laverne.
It was a great find, and came at the perfect time. Sap is starting to run, and its boilin' time!
