    Hi all,

    I was in doubt of posting this one. It is far from complete but before trading this stove it might be useful to have it in the reference gallery. I am cleaning out a bit. It has different features than the only other one on this site posted by BernieDawg: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/radius-no-30-stove-heater.9504/ Which makes it interesting.

    Mine is nickel plated and has a safety valve in the filler cap. It has the burner, leggs and heating attachment missing. The current burner is a Primus one.

    I found this type of filler cap on a Radius no. 6, 31 and 33. It should be 1930's of 1940's. Quite old ;)

    Hi Jacob, Radius stoves were made between 1913 and 1963, so 50 years in production. Radius became Radius Ltd in the late 30s/early 1940s.
    Your stove is a Radius model so pre- late 1930s.

    Here is a stove with a similar SRV. However my Radius No. 6 is a later, 1940s Radius Ltd. model, now with a patent number:
