DESCA 1 original camping stove 1930 Germany

This is the smallest camping stove that Desca made in the 1930’s. Desca is a small company from Sachsen, in the East of Germany. The company produced stoves under the Tresor and Desca name. This particular stove is from the beginning of the 2oth century, guesstimating somewhere around 1930’s (also featured in the 1936 catalog as shown below). It has a folded steel base with original black paint and brass burner parts. The number 1 and “Nur für spiritus” is pressed in there from the bottom.  Nice logo on the burner. Some paint loss on the black base, the wooden knob on front has most of it left. This stove has been used, cap comes off nicely, front knob turner, not further tested. This small metal with brass stove measures ca. 29 cm or ca. 11 3/4 inches from wood knob to the back.
