1952 Primus No.3

Picture of stove in as found condition. Not taking this hiking.



AR 4 date stamped under tank.

 

Cleaned up a bit.



Flame ring appears to be stainless steel, should it be brass?

 

Hi, the flame ring should be brass and Base Camp still has them:


2153 Flame spreader for No3 Stove £ 6.95

Your one, if SS is likely a later improvisation; perhaps a napkin ring?
These are super stoves!
Best Regards,

What size napkins do you have up in Scotland?

The ring has a diameter of approx 70MM 2 3/4 inches, I could get a bath towel in it.

Thanks for the information,

Ray

 

Aye Laddie, the tartan ones are a wee bit bigger....

Best Regards,
Kerophile.
