Those old cooksets (I assume you mean the Sigg Tourist cookset) are really nice. I still use mine. It's a very stable platform for bigger pans like when you want to fry up some trout or cook pancakes. You can still get them on eBay, but a complete set in good condition typically commands a pretty good price. People know about those cooksets.


However, a Svea 123 in and of itself can be had for sometimes less than $30.00. One in good condition will command more, but I've managed to get several "ugly duckling" Svea 123's for less that shined up well and made very good stoves.
