    hi, got given by my mum from the charity shop she works in an OPTIMUS NO.100. On the side is inscribed OPTI- (picture of a stove)-mus. but here is the confusing part "made in Austria, Vienna. it has a picture of a stove on the filler cap. looks like it is a lipstick burner by my so-far research. it has a decorative top/pan plate ( cast)
    I know optimus is a swedish firm so why Austria??
    Also says OPTIMUS GB&R.

    You guys/gals in the know could shed some light as I am confused. one leg is broken off but is an easy fix TA. :whistle:

    That would be nice to see. I'm new and just starting to appreciate the older stoves. Cheers
