DescriptionAdvertisement for 'Wickless Oil Stoves'. This advertisement for 'GAMAGES / SPECIAL LINE / GENUINE SWEDISH WICKLESS OIL STOVES' includes an illustration of a stove with four burners. There were apparently two further models, one with six burners and also one with eight. It was recommended for use in field hospitals and camps and was promoted as, 'The most acceptable present you could send to any Regiment or Field Hospital at the Front'. Gamages were based in Holborn, London. It is interesting that Gamages' target audience were those with friends or loved ones at the Front. The hope was that people would buy the stoves and send them over to be used in the trenches, camps and field hospitals. The reality was that this item would have been very precious to those at the Front. With serious shortages of even the most basic supplies and equipment throughout the war, such luxuries were extremely scarce.
