    Hi stove friends.

    I was brought this optimus stove two years ago. I love chrome nickel style stove more than brass!!

    Very nice stove Gunsoo! I like the cast trivets, yours also looks to be in a very nice condition.

    Best regards,

    Very pretty stove, Gunsoo. Excellent photos too.

    I have one nickled stove, a Hovik Verk/Primus 210L. It is very pretty and shines up so well and easily. I wonder how much more the nickled stoves cost than the plain brass ones when they were new.

    I completely agree the nickel platted stoves are real head turners if you can get your hands on one. Yours here is very very nice indeed as well as that pan ring. Cheeew wah.

    Hello Gunsoo.
    Another nice stove you have there :mrgreen: :mrgreen: I'm green with envy.

    I too like the nickled tripod stoves.
    Not only do they look that extra nice but they feel different as well, when being pumped up. Probably because of the nickel plating.

    The spirit dish with the easy starter flame flute looks alot like what Sievert used on some of their stoves.

    I would like to see a flame shot or 2. John

    hello

    Do you know what type of fuel your stove uses? I have one just like it but it says made in Russia. Comes with two burners , one like yours and one with a needle cleaner. Previous owner could not tell me much about it.

    Thanks

    Hi Joe.

    I think your lovely two stove use fuel is kerosene (paraffin).

    Beautiful stove!

    I also prefer the chrome / nickel stoves more than the brass ones. More difficult to find though...

    Nickel plated, cast iron trivet and old-style auto-lighter - it does not get much better than this! :D :D :D
