A small portable stove made by the Florence Stove Company: with an iron burner mounted on a tin fuel canister, the entire assembly was carried in a lightweight tin container. Associated with the North Pole Expedition. Peary designed changes and Henson is recorded as "making" these stoves - perhaps adapting the basic stove by making the container and/or fuel chamber. An identical stove at Canadian Museum of Civilization is also associated with North Pole Expedition.
