    Hi everyone!. I scored this unusual little kero stove today at an old wares shop. It looked in good nick for its age (1940s) I think! I got it home and it is a center draft wick design. The wick was stuck and looked like it was never lit. I filled it up with kero and it boiled this half full kettle in about 2 minutes. Unfortunately, it started leaking around the base and after removing the wick I found pin holes in the chimney pipe that the wick slides over. I think I can save it with some fuel tank paint. Here's a couple of pictures. Thanks Dave lanes thermil.JPG lanes thermil 2.JPG

    Would anyone happen to know where I could buy a new wick for one of these models?
