John, I did find those sites and unfortunately the stove they show looks nothing like mine :( the mystery deepens.

So heres what I'm going to do.......the first person that can come up with a photo of this stove (not counting mine) and the info about it will win :twisted: ............A teardrop hitchcover There has to be some info out there some where.

I Joined a vintage stove board in search of information on this stove.
One man from England said they used to be popular in the Uk for picnics.

No picture yet but found this link on the history of the company.

sad as it seems you may be right Mark. I've allways thought you could find out about anything on the web. Its hard to believe with all the stove collectors out there (and I don't mean just this forum) theres no info on this stove.

Hey, who knows maybe I have the only one in exsistence and its worth millions, I better go see when the antiques roadshow is coming to town. :thumbsup:

It was givin to my dad about 35 years ago by a co worker, he never used it and passed it on to me 7 years ago. My dad never thought to ask him anything about it.

Dougs recent obsession with vintage camping stuff got me thinking about it and you guys know the rest of the story.

You guys don't have to give up... the hitch cover offer still stands. and i appreciate the effort you guys have allready put in. :D
