Summary
A cream coloured tin model stove with battery operated light inside, along with three black metal objects. The stove is in two parts, and the hob is removable. The hob which is rectangular in shape has a base with three equally sized holes and a back wall which has a black tin shelf attached with hooks underneath and a black hood attached to the back wall. The stove base which is also rectangular in shape has two black tin doors at either side which open by a small handle. There is a small black tin draw at the bottom centre which opens with a knob. The central grill is made from four vertical cut out slits, with a horizontal one above. These are backed by red paper which allows the light from the bulb to shine through. Mounted inside at the back of the grill is a bulb fitting which is attached to a wide metal and cardboard battery fitting, fixed onto the opposite wall. The stove has four black tin feet one of which is detached form the stove, but remains intact. In addition to the stove are three separate black metal objects, one of which appears to be a funnel with a handle. The two other objects are identical with curved pipes attached to bowls. They may possibly be model gas lamp fittings. Total number of items is 4.
