    I recently purchased this stove from jayork, and what a beauty it is. I gave it a look over checked the pump, and pored in some fresh kero. When running at full output it did leek between the burner and the riser but a quick snugging up fixed that. And as I remember I may have even fixed my dinner on it that evening.
    I have had a lot of fun, looking at other post on these stoves. I have noticed a few things about it. It was purchased by jayork sometime in the nineteen seventy’s. The Primus stile case and the spacing between the pump and leg would suggest to me that it was made between 1962 and the early 80s. As I understand it the more ornate double knurling on the filler cap may place its production in the sixty's. At any rate its an enjoyable stove to have and it sits on my mantel. As for its value. It was sold what you needed to get for it, and bought for what I thought was a fair price. Good deal. Thanks a lot.
