When you look up SRG you see Radius no 12 as a double burner. There is no Radius no 12 like the one in the pictures below. Is it a rarity? Seen on an auction site Tom
@Tom Pedersen This stove model appears in a 1920 Radius catalogue: [From https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/1920-catalogue-no-10.15482/ by @optipri] Cheers Tony
@Tony Press Thanks for your answer. I'm surprised that Radius gives 2 different stoves the same name. Do you know if this No 12 is rare? Tom
@Tom Pedersen quite a find- one of the shorter lived models before the range settled down to long-lasting bestsellers. In the early days when stove manufacturers were testing the market and battling competitors the numbering system sometimes got a litte complex and was eventually simplified. Both Primus and Optimus reused old model numbers for completely different types of stoves, for example see the Optimus (auto) No.8 domestic stove, and the No.8 preceeding the No.8r!
@Blackdog Unfortunately the stove is not mine. I have seen it on an auction site sold for 245 gbp. Tom
Sorry I just meant it was a rarity- especially with the tin in excellent condition too. I was watching it but had no intention of bidding, being a user rather than collecting to display,.The tin was far too good to use in the snow or on the beach!
very rare i'd say! would it be possible to add more pictures (especially of the feet and tin) so it can be added as a separate gallery post? great 'find'. wonder if anyone from here bought it? frank daniel
