Wed 8 Apr 2015, 17:32 Thanks Andrew - a useful googling tip, I didn't get past those pics (but didn't look at them, honest!). If it sparked interest anywhere else, the full item can be seen here: The bit I found is the hinged base of the stove part, hinged to allow access to the burner underneath. But perhaps I won't bother searching for the rest of it! |

There's more if you search for (in quotes) "Twin Beatrice stove", eg www.ehow.co.uk/facts_7631831_history-beatrice-twin-kerosene-stove.html |

Sun 5 Apr 2015, 21:36 Dug up a couple of days ago, it's iron (I think!), measures roughly 6" x 5", looks like one half of a hinged container for two (hence twin of course) bottles or similar. Nothing I can find via that goo-y thing - can anyone shed light? |
