WW1 MILITARY OFFICERS ALCOHOL STOVE & CUP TEA KIT

GOOD EBAY ADVICE: 1. Read the entire description.  2. Know the shipping costs.  3. Understand the seller's payment terms and policies.  4.  Inspect the seller's reputation.  5.  Ask questions if unsure about ANYTHING.

DESCRIPTION:  Antique field stove entered at friendly price.  You are viewing what I believe is a WW1 (or earlier) British military officers stove hot water tea kit.  The burner operates on alcohol (methylated spirits) and works great.  The riser tube is heated by the surrounding wick and the vapors that escape out the top holes are extra pressurized.  I boiled the cup of water in the photos in about 3 minutes.  I think all of the metal is nickel brass .. it's all non-magnetic .. much brass is showing on the outside of the cup.  The burner packs into the cup when not in use.  The tank cap is threaded for saving unused alcohol so it doesn't evaporate.  The bottom lip edge of the cup is extended so it doesn't slip off the upright legs from the stove.   No damages to mention .. just normal age related surface wear.  The cup is 3 1/8" high .. 2 3/4" diameter .. it holds 8 ounces of water.  There are markings on the bottom of the tank .. shown in last photo ... I don't know what it means.  Please inspect the enlarged photos ... contact me if any questions. 

SHIPPING:  Will ship at 13 ounce rate to anywhere in the world.  Buyers have delivery choices of economy or speed.  International buyers .. if you choose first class mail delivery instead of priority mail .. then you are understanding that it cannot be tracked or insured (USPS has tied my hands).  If this is not ok with you then select the priority mail option.

SELLER POLICIES: 5 star customer satisfaction is my first policy.  Payment is due within 24 hours of auction end unless other arrangements are made (communicate).  Shipping is fast .. usually 12-24 hours after receiving payment .. and usually at actual postal rates or less.  Item descriptions are complete and accurate without hype .. multiple photos are revealing.  Inquiries for any unclear details are encouraged and answered promptly.  Payments:  I prefer Paypal soon after the auction ends .. if this payment method is a problem for you then communicate with me and we'll work it out.  All international sales must be Paypal.  Combined shipping and delivery options are available by request.  Insurance is available on your invoice & by request ... without insurance the buyer is responsible for items lost or damaged in transit.  If there should ever be a problem with any aspect of our transaction .. contact me right away .. before leaving feedback .. and we can work it out.   Quick and courteous communication will prevent troubles on eBay.
