    I found this some time ago, it looks completely unused.

    In the box is a complete gasket set, pump leather and NRV. In addition to a spanner and cleaning needle

    The strange thing is that the flame ring is marked with Radius!

    Good Morning @Magne Fahre what a wonderful find and a gem you have there, to find a stove from that era unfired and in great condition, with everything complete from spare washer set to decals is quite a find in fact rare,

    I really love the patina that has slightly developed on the brass, and the tin box free of rust and all graphics complete, being has it has been kept and stored in a good environment the brass has not really tarnished but taken on darker golden hue, that is the ideal kind of patina i love on brass.

    Well done @Magne Fahre on a brilliant score and addition.

    Good morning @mr optimus
    Thanks. Yes, it's quite a feeling when you see such a box. And when you open the tin and see that it is unused! Even better when you ask to buy it and she suggests €40:D/

    That really is a brilliant buy/score, especially what stoves like this fetch today, especially with internet auction sites where sellers of collectables and antiques can now check to see what collectors are prepared to pay

    Yes that is mint! That hasn't seen any use, if any. Is that cute spirit bottle free of rust on the inside?

    @Lighthouse No rust, completely clean. Guess there's never been anything in it.
