I have the 3 items in route to me and have been wondering the approximate age these are. From photos I've seen the the gallery here, the top pot doesn't look to be Trangia. I believe the bottom two are genuine and will know more when I can see the markings. Any thoughts or information you can supply would be greatly appreciated.
hello again lisa, FYI a most helpful treasure trove of Trangia reference when considering their kit Trangia Archive (link) , great stuff that. Also reveals they made MANY items, camping & domestic. credit to Trangia by way of Ross. That posted just last year btw. It quickly answered MANY previously open questions. there are various details to identify approx age/years. Logo being one of the easier details to look for.
Thank you @presscall, I think it was your post I was looking at yesterday. Beautiful Trangia set you have there. Thank you @OMC for pointing out that link again, I had clicked on the photo and nothing happened, then today, looking again, I realized he has a link at the beginning, so it was good you led me there again.
The one thing that looks interesting is the bottom of the set. Mine doesn't appear to have the edge/rounded lip. Mine top, vs presscall's bottom photo.
Thank you @snwcmpr, I am spending some time there trying to find the same bottom stand that I have, without rim. I'm beginning to doubt that the bottom stand I have is Trangia brand, I'll know more once it arrives and see if there are markings on it.
Willing to go out on a limb and say you have an all original 3 piece Trangia 27, with the bottom lip rolled in. I have an early 27 set with 1 Identical pot. The upper stand has a steel band painted black. Yours may be stainless steel and if so would be a 70's model. Here's a pic & link from the gallery showing the lower stand with the bottom lip rolled in.
@Etherman thank you for the additional information! I never considered that it was a model 27. That bottom lip rolled in explains it perfectly and that photo is a lot like it except for the pot holder on mine is constructed differently.
@lisantica Nice vintage Trangia set, the small bowl is made of relatively thick aluminum and has a sturdy feel to it. Here's a pic of my 27 of similar vintage, with pot support band made of steel and the lower edge rolled out.
@Etherman That Soto lighter. Be careful not to burn it too long. They are not known for lasting very well. I had 2 fail.
Nice Trangia set @Etherman. I did my first boil in it today after giving it a good scrub down. Such a fun set! I haven't even fired up my modern 27. Was glad my modern Trangia spirit burner worked in it. For some reason I thought the older burners were wider.
@snwcmpr, if you look at @Etherman 's photo above you will see the old Trangia burners have a simmer ring, but not adjustable. It is hinged on the burner.
Hi @Scrambler , I think Ken @snwcmpr is referring to the military burners he mentioned earlier when he says they have no simmer ring. I guess the military thought their soldiers would lose them anyway...
