Poloron Products, Inc., New Rochelle, New York,

made this two burner stove, Model GS-1.

This stove, in Steve Winikates's collection,

came with the instruction sheet that is dated Dec. 1961.

The windscreens latch through a loop in the back right corners of the cooking grate.


Prentiss Wabers Products Co. made this Auto KampKook Kit

when the town they were located in was known as Grand Rapids, Wisconsin,

which dates the stove to pre-1920.

The legs are removable on this early model

but the fount remains outside the box for packing.

Harold Porter has restored this stove which is in his collection.


This Prentiss Wabers Auto Kamp Kook Kit

is the one burner equivalent of the two burner model above

and was made after 1920.

This stove, in Joe Pagan's collection,

has a removable key to control the burner.

The steel parts of the burner make preheating difficult.



Preway's Model 4 Auto-Cook-Kit requires preheating.

Glenn Knapke restored this stove including repainting the case.

By lifting Rod A (lower image) and opening the valve,

fuel is diverted to the preheater cup.

Rod B passes through the slot in the case to control the left burner.



Prentiss Wabers Products Co., Wisconsin Rapids, Wisconsin,

manufactured many stoves in the first half of the 20th century.

This Model 8B two burner stove was probably made in the late 1920's - early '30's.

The burner assembly stores in the case by lifting it from the running position (upper image).

The stove is instant lighting; it has a sliding bar with a hole

to allow the fuel air mix to reach the left burner (lower image).



Prentiss Wabers also made this Handy Chef Auto-Camp Stove for Sears, Roebuck and Co.

This restored stove, in Glenn Knapke's collection, differs from the one above by not being instant lighting,

so it has a preheater cup below the left burner.

The stove is unusual in having the second burner closer to the tank,

rather than farther from the tank,

and with the generator passing over both burners.


This Prentiss Wabers 3-burner Model 22PW is instant lighting

and probably dates to pre-1934 as noted for Model 168 below.

Joe Pagan restored this stove

which features a metal strip across the top front panel of the stove

that can be raised to the left to insert/remove the tank and burner assembly.


Preway Model 168 is a 3 burner floor stove

that probably dates to pre-1934

based on the few catalogs we have of this company.

Randall Adams restored this stove

which included fabricating the splash guard

and tailoring the design of that part for their kitchen decor.


Prentiss Wabers Preway brand stoves were often called Auto Cook Kits.

Model 418P, seen here running, is in Brien Page's collection.

This model dates to the mid 1930's.

Preway DeLuxe Hot Plate No. 438P

measures 31 3/4" long x 10 1/2" high,

and the shipping weight is listed as 66 lbs in their 1936 catalog.

Bob Meyer repainted the stove with Kennedy Tool Box wrinkle brown;

it was originally a brown walnut finish.

All 3 burners are running in this image.


Preway stove Models P4821 (left) and P4822 (right) may date to the 1950's,

according to Brien Page, whose collection these are in.

Model P4821 has an unusual wedge-shaped design;

the fount raises the front of the stove and the steel plate in front levels the grate.

Both burners were running when he took the image of the P4822.

These stoves have a rod with a terminal loop to regulate the right burner.


This military pocket stove was made for the military

by Prentiss-Wabers or Preway.

Stamped in this stove is M-1942-MOD

and PW-1-45.

This stove is in Fred Kuntz's collection.


Aktiebolaget Pyro, Stockholm, Sweden, made this tripod stove around 1912-15.

It is unusual in that it has a built-in pump (right) that removes for fuel filling

and the knob allows air to be drawn from the top of the fount

to force the preheater flame up to light the fuel.

Aktiebolaget Pyro started production in 1900

but was not in business for many years.


The Rinnai Mfg. Co., Ltd., Nagoya, Aichi, Japan, made this Model RK-100R

two-burner camp stove for Eaton's of Canada (seen here)

and for Montgomery Ward in the US as part of their WesternField brand.

This stove, in Mike Ogilvie's collection, has a sliding metal panel at the bottom of the mixing chamber

that, when opened, causes the main burner flame to intensify.



RM Manufacturing & Engineering Co. Ltd., Birmingham, UK

made this kerosene fueled, silent burner stove.

This stove and package with prickers is in Jeff Johnson's collection.


The Model M-1950 stove was built by a number of companies

under contract to the U.S. Quartermaster Corps between 1951 and 1987.

It fits in the aluminum case which doubles as a cook kit.

The roarer burner is rated at 5500BTU/hr.

Spare parts are held inside the legs and the pump handle.

This stove was made by Rogers Tool & Die Co., Inc., Akron, Ohio, in 1964.


This is an older, kerosene burning tripod stove, Model 4,

made by Sievert of Sweden under the SVEA brand.

The legs on this model are solder to the fount and are not removable.

It has a silent burner so it burns quietly

due to the tiers of fine holes on the sides of the burner

where the flames are dispersed.

The grate is missing from this brass stove.


Svea made this Komfur Model 60 stove

with a silent burner.

This stove has not been used

and is in Bo Ryman's collection.


Max Sievert also marketed stoves under the Campus brand.

This Model 3 Campus stove, in Jorgen Svensson's collection,

is similar to the SVEA 123 Model.

This stove burns white gas and probably dates to the 1930's.


This early Assurans tripod stove was made by the Assuransköksbolaget, Stockholm, Sweden;

the stove was patented in the late 1870's by the inventor Forsberg.

The stove, like the early Nyberg stove, lacks a pump and has a spherical fount.

What appears to be a pump on this stove is the pressure release screw.

Note the preheater cup swings away and the burner can be tipped back for cleaning.

This stove is in Magnus Thilander's collection.


The Model CS 56 is possibly the first

post-WWII stove made by Tilley.

The fount is the same as that on the X246 storm lantern

and sold a kit to convert this lantern to a stove.

This camping stove is in Neil McRae's collection.


Tilley made the P100 stove through the 1970's into the 1990's.

In later price lists it is listed as paraffin stove model X246.

This model seems to have been supplied as a special order item.

It is further unusual in having a Primus, rather than Tilley, burner.

This stove is in Neil McRae's collection.


This British military specification stove was manufactured

by several companies during and after WWII.

The olive green paint has been removed

from the sides of the fount of this paraffin (kerosene) burning stove.

This stove, purchased in Hitchin, England, with "all the bits,"

fits in the tin to the left which doesn't function as a pot.


Turner Brass Works in Sycamore, Illinois

manufactured this Model 1111 one burner stove.

In operation the tip of the generator has a nut  to attach it to the burner.

The fount stores in the case as the burner can be slid forward in its mount.

This stove works and is in Brien Page's collection.

This stove dates to the 1930's and appears in an ad in 1949.


An unknown model of tripod stove with a lantern conversion

in the Dolphin brand by Watcor Ltd.,

Cape Town, South Africa.

This stove and lantern combination is is Neil McRae's collection.

More information on this stove/lantern combination

can be found on Shinzo Kono's website.


Model 42A Senior stove was made by the Wehrle Co., Newark, Ohio.

Mike Bullis had to repair the tank in a couple of places

before he was able to operate it; the stove is now in Harold Porter's collection.

The controls for the right (master) burner are on the fount.

The fount is pressurized with a separate pump.

The stove frame is cast iron.


Model 43A Senior stove by the Wehrle Company

is a larger three-burner model.

John Britt, whose collection this is in,

cleaned and painted the rusted sheet metal,

matching the original colors as closely as possible.

The 7" diameter cast iron burner grates are missing but the stove works.
