104 Years Old Cooking Stove Restoration - Why Did They Stop Producing Them?

In this video, I restore an old rusty cooking stove made in France in the 1920s. More about the restoration process: It was very challenging but rewarding, as usual, and I learned a lot about cooking stoves! The little stove was in disrepair when I got it. The fuel tank was damaged entirely and couldn't be used anymore; it had a considerable hole that required a lot of skill and patience to repair, as well as many dents and a missing lid. The inside mechanism was utterly gone, too, and I had to rebuild it from scratch. If you want to learn more about this antique French stove, I encourage you to watch this video. When I saw it, even though I was shocked at how bad it looked, full of dents, bends, rust, and burn! The most challenging part was the tank, which had a wick stuck inside and many holes.
After removing the rust, the parts were painted with heat-resistant paint, and I polished all the beautiful brass parts. At the end of the video, I made a test so you can see how it works! More about the camping/cooking stove: It was manufactured by the famous F. VULIN et Cie, Réchaud à pétrole 'AZUREA,' at the beginning of 19 century. I hope I have caught everything, but if you have any questions, you can comment, and I'll get back to you! Cheers! Johnny.
