I have a stove like this marked with an ordinance
corps flaming bomb and "Coleman 1945"
My grandfather bought it as surplus after Korea. When
he gave it to me after storing it for years, the pump
leather was dried out. A good blob of Vaseline and
liberal rubbing and it works like a charm still 8
years later.
