Now that Tourer Monitor is lovely!! That would be so good in the panniers of a vintage bicycle!

Nice stove Paddy and a good find 
.
Any chance of sharing the name of said merchant shop?(There is an old fashioned type of hardware shop in Heacham, Norfolk. It does not stock anything old but it's the same family for 4 generations and while selling harware they have the house next door which they use to show and sell soft furnishings with the street it is like going back 40 years).
Must say Jeep, liking the Kuska.

Great stove, Paddy! I'm going to have to keep my eye out for one of those. I have my two-burner Coleman, but sometimes a smaller stove or just an extra burner is nice. Cook the coffee on the Monitor whilst the bacon and eggs cooks on the Coleman.
Jeep, that cook set is awesome. What brand is it? The kettle is brilliant with the removable handle set on the side like that.

Very cool stove you have there, Paddy!
We have cooked on the WWII GI pocket stoves. For our "regular" camping we had a vintage Coleman 2-burner camp stove that we used for years until it finally bit the dust.
Found a photo!
I have that exact same stove!

Thank you gentlemen.
The cookset is unfortunally unbranded. It came in a very nice and sturdy cardboard box though. I'll snap a few photos.
I am unsure of the age of the set, 40s maybe?

So, does anyone here use a Kelly Kettle? I found a U.S. dealer that sells the stainless steel models fairly reasonably. The plan is to get the Camp model for our trip this summer to climb Mt. St. Helens at the bivouac the night before. Plus other camping trips that are not a hike in. The good thing about it is the fuel is free. Whatever sticks and twigs you can scrounge up is your fuel. I just wanted to know others thoughts.
Cheers!
