Torch, or so I think
« on: March 29, 2013, 08:05:20 PM »
I found this, Ime baffled for its exact application.





And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

Not Coleman, made by Thermos.

See this page of Terry Marsh's extensive website, scroll down until you see it.  It's the 8430 stove fount. http://tgmarsh.faculty.noctrl.edu/agmstove.html

Photo credit goes to Mr. Marsh. Nice guy, I've actually chatted with him on another forum for GPA collectors.

Thermos has made some quality products over the years IMO.  I still carry an older Thermos lunch box.  Used the "Thermos" upright coffee carrier a many of times over the last few weeks with hospital visits.
