I thought that I was the only one afflicted with scrapitis. Nice finds!

We had a few of those when I was a kid. Used to play with them. I wonder if the drip tray was a priming tray? I can't remember but some old kerosene stoves had a priming tray to help get it hot enough to atomize.
Nice finds by the way!
