Response to Everest Commemorative Svea 106?
 

I think Hillary used a Primus on Everest. On a side note. I talked to Jim Whitaker and his Wife Diane Roberts last spring in Seattle and told him of my love for old stoves and Ice Axes. ( Jim's favorite stove was the Optimus 00)_ Anyway he claims he found Mallory's old stove from 1924 Climb in 1992 on the " Peace " climb with the Chinese and Russians. If I get a chance I will try to take a photo of it for this site. Jim Whitaker was the first American up Everest May 1st, 1963.
