    This is a seldom seen model. I believe it was in production for a short while.
    I have only find it in this catalogue. It is almost the same as this #134. The only difference I can see it the mid grill, that is missing on my stove, while it is integrated in the frame on 134.
    Jerseytool, some additional clear photos of your 134 would be appreciated,.
    As you can see it is in enamelled cast iron and that was unusual at that time. Steel sheet models were alreadey taking over, probably because cheaper production cost. This is a firm one, the weight is 9kg!
    The bowl under the burners are in steel with some thin plating so of course it was corroded.
    I descided to repaint it but first I had to whittle out the remains for years of cooking.
    Almost enough for a complete dinner.

    Yet another beautiful enameled stove.
    There are only two documents in CCS that mention the Primus 135 Range stove.
    One is the 1935 'Primus Parade' document that you have already mentioned.

    The only other document on CCS that mentions the 135 is a 1930s brochure that says that certain burners are used on the 135.
    In fact it is a document posted by you, Bo!
    It is here.
