    Just for ease of searching for solutions later. The model is Optimus 8R. A newer version of the Optimus 8.
    Like a Svea 123R is a newer version of the Svea 123.

    Gotta love an OP. 00.
    From the design on the tin, I would say yours dates from about 1955 or so. Makes it about 70 years old.
    Plenty of life in the old stove yet.
