    Hi all, found this one, NOS in an old shop last Saturday. Haven't fired it up yet (will do!!!) but wanted to share it with you. My guess is, this stove dates from the sixties, what do you folks think?

    Well, owning the same Punker Stove makes two members having this stove at the forum.
    Will light my stove one of these days (alcohol this time). :D

    :D/ Flameshots! :D/

    First 2 were taken this afternoon, the others at night. Sorry for them not being 'sharp', might have something to do with the cold (condence?)

    Loverly green colour during pre-heat, went away at "full blast".

    The above photo (N°3) was taken from the underside, to show the "pre-heating" flame

    Last one is lowest setting (simmer) I could get.

    Hope you enjoyed them!

    Best regards,

    Wim

    Workshoptime this evening.

    Lighting the Punker stove was still on the to-do list.
    No problems, just a little leak at the connection from the fueltank with the threaded coupling at the tankside.
    Guess that means a little brazing or J&B weld.

    Nice Erwin! There was a Punker on Ebay Belgium last week, same as ours. I wonder how many of these were imported & survived?

    Best regards,

    Wim

    Be careful using an epoxy coating or adhesive where it might come into contact with alcohol. Alcohol has a nasty habit of dissolving, or at least softening epoxies.

    Don't ask.

    Hi Ian, positive test result with a magnet ;) so most probably steel!

    Thanks Wim

    I reckon yours is much earlier than you think, 1940's me thinks. I see no reason why Swedish stove makers, were not in the same boat as us, with the shortage of brass, and used steel instead.

    There is a British Patent dated for these at 1937, on CCS. It is possible it could go back further with maybe with a Swedish patent.

    There are several variations of these stoves, already on CCS.

    ps. Also the type of control spindle on your stove, suggests earlier.
