    Greetings, everyone,
    Today I want to show another Optimus No 1S from my collection; this time I tried to date it more precisely and seems to me, that it comes from the period 1925 - 1926. There are some differecies between this one presented today and this one presented previously. I bought it in a very good shape, regarding it's age. Let's start: 1a.JPG

    Original roaring burner:

    and a dimpled spirit bowel:

    Screw vent:

    and filler cap ( both sides identically stamped ) :

    The stamp on the side wall of the tank:

    And on it's bottom ( export version ? ):

    No other tamps present.

    Works like new ;)

    Thanks for watching.

    @Stanisław Grajewski thanks for sharing another very nice classic! This in particular is very interesting for the unusual bottom stamping… so most probably a very well preserved Optimus made in Poland.

    Cheers,

    Nicola

    Cheers

    Nice post.

    How do the preheating pan recesses work?

    @Camp numao
    When the flame restricts to this spot - it is time to start pumping.
    Cheers
