I bought this at the ghost town of St. Elmo, Colorado 3 or 4 years ago. It looks like a Prentiss-Waber stove but the tank mounts on the wrong side. I never got this to work, (I didn't try very hard). If you want it I'll send it to you for free. I don't have time to goof with it anymore.

Nice find Jeff, and Jeremy got a good one! That's a long gennie stove, the number 1 burner is the furthest one away from the fuel tank. I'm thinking it's a Pre-Way Model 4. Having been in Colorado, it's probably in decent shape. I'm not so worried about not seeing this in time. Everyone has been great to me on stove finds and I can't have them all of them after all. Very generous offer Jeff! You're a good guy. Doug

There's a paper tag wired to the handle that says, "1920's camping stove". I don't know how they know this because the metal tag has been ripped off. Anyway, I know you guys that restore these old stoves and lanterns will do it up right. I just don't have the time to mess with it and I didn't want to throw it away.

I believe the stove is actually early 1930's.

Alright, J-bird the stove is boxed up and will go out on UPS today. Me thinks is should be in your hands on Tuesday. Take pics if you fix 'er up, I'd like to see what it looks like later on.

Oh, don't forget to leave me good feedback!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy!
Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Ask yourself these simple questions every time you are in doubt about any action.

A++++ shipper. Good communication. Good T&TTT seller....

The stove came today. Awesome little stove. Now I know why Doug like the old ones. I was able to fire up after putting an o-ring in the filler cap and lots of flames. Only 2 small things to fix are the control knob is broke off & a very small hole in the generator about 2" from the valve. I can'e wait for the weather to get warmer to get it stripped and restored.
