You know, I'm certainly not in the younger crowd, but I would be really interested in seeing photos of your collection and I'm sure I haven't seen many of them myself. Not to be pushy or anything but a photo and a bit of info on them would be really cool!

I really didn't know the Svea 123 was such a renowned and loved piece of gear, and I know almost nothing about the history of backpacking stoves. I do know there have been a lot of designs manufactured over the years and some of them are very complex looking and very skillfully crafted.

I'm sorry, but I just had to ask. You've mentioned you collected them before and each time I couldn't help but think of how cool it would be to see and hear about them.
