Only the #520 model with was originally blue porcelain enamel color with nickel trim and also including the stamped aluminum plaque advertising to use PEARL OIL for best results. DESCRIPTION OF CONDITION: Besides the flaking black paint it still looks pretty good despite its age. The feet (4) are all intact and straight. The heat proof handle is intact. The vent at the top opens and closes. The vent is a little bit lopsided but still opens and closes smoothly. The triangle shaped model # tag is MISSING, but it still has the main brand name tag. The tank appears to have no leaks. The inside of tank is a bit rusted up but there was also a small amount of oil in the tank so it’s not completely rusted up. No holes at least. The fuel tank gauge is fully functioning. The cap, the cap chain and the handle to the tank are all good. The spring tab clip (how to open up the heater) is in great shape. It opens and closes as it should and lock back shut. No looseness feeling when you pick it up. Inside the heater is rusted. Was left outside for a few years. But overall still all good and in wonderful shape. Just needs a new wick. It features a single burner and is made of porcelain and metal with an enamel finish.
