I like the kamplite. That is slick.

@geneandrew1269 it's super cool. Seems like a design that should have lasted.

@ Maybe the design had a patent so no one could make their version or possibly some sort of safety concern with the flame below the fuel tank.

I'd avoid brasso if I can when polishing cold worked brass (The Irony!). Brasso makes worked brass weak by the ammonia in it leaching the zinc. Cold worked brass (or stamped in this case for the fount) is constantly under tension and the zinc provides critical rigidity in supporting the brass. Ammonia in the brasso robs that zinc relieving the pressure and exerting extra stress on the remaining copper leading to stress cracks in the future.
