Old stoves from past years.

Finally, a few pics of my stove collection. Excuse the unprofessional shots, the setting is mostly natural. I'll add to it later. Thanks all for offers over the years in trying to help me get this photo thing down.
A couple of MSR's first stove model, the model 9. Notice the scalloped bell. I'm still looking for a white pump. MSR model MF, G, GK, some of my blue stoves. Notice the flat generator over the burner on the MF and the lack of generator going over the G, then back again to the generator over the burner on the GK. Also notice the different catch arms on the end of the fuel line. Bernie Dawg silent cap equipped X-GK Another Bernie Dawg silent cap, a Dragontamer, on a MSR Dragonfly. Runs very quiet and smoothly. If you could get the DragonFly and add one of these caps, you'd have a great stove. A rare Optimus 11 Explorer, complete. I got this pretty cheap, so not only was I lucky to have it offered to me, I got to make an offer. Jets for all the fuels, air restrictor when running the alcohol jet, tool, instructions, storage bag. Notice it has the old silent cap that was used on 'brassie" stoves that burned kerosene, the cap transitioned to this, then what is now the Nova. If you pick up an old Nova or similar, get one with the CEJN fittings.
