(They were famous then, as they are now, as the ones who make Dardevle Lures). According to information I found on the internet this would have been manufactured between 1950 & 1957. Closed it measures 18″wide x 11-1/2″ x 5-1/2. Weight of the stove is 14 pounds. The box and stove say KampKook burns regular or Leaded gasoline. American Gas Machine Company. Division of Queensland Stove Works, Inc. Condition is: I have not attempted to fire it up. The valves on the tank turn properly and the pump on the right goes in and out as you would expect but because the leather needs to be oiled because it didn’t make pressure. The red valve in front probably had a bigger handle but it is still easy to turn without it. The box, as can be observed in the pictures, is missing one end and is generally aged, as can be expected. If you have questions or need more pictures please ask.

Offered is an early type Antique AGM Kamkook stove from an estate I did a bit of research on this old stove and found some discussions on classiccampstoves dot com and I found that this is a very early “peg leg” type stove with early type burners and grates and the brass tag has “patent pending” and also the lack of the phrase “The Ideal Camp Stove”. So from reading I suspect it to date from the 1918 to 1921 era It measures approx. 14 1/2 by 8 1/4 by 3 1/2″ tall The stove appears to be all there except for the rods or pegs that used as legs I think some iron rods can be cut and bent with a bit of effort to replace them it is also missing one bent tin “socket holder” in one corner that holds a peg leg The stove’s tin is full of ripples, dings and small dents and there is surface rust however the metal all feels quite solid The tank looks solid, complete and it’s knob turns smoothly, I can hear some grit rattling inside so it needs cleaning The air pump also looks complete but it will need to be serviced and oiled and the hose is a bit stiff I suspect it is a worthwhile candidate for a “stovie restoration as it is a scarce early type or it may be a good parts unit of you have one that is missing parts or pieces hopefully someone can put it to good use! ……………………………….

American Gas Machine Co. I was told by the guy I bought it from that it was never used. This looks to be confirmed by the lack of carbon anywhere plus the 4 legs have no paint loss at all. Instruction manual plus advertising pamphlets. This high end model has a cast iron grill. The other KookKamps models had steel rod grills. I did not test this stove. I won’t be the one to first fire this up. The Box is in very bad condition as seen in the photo.
