Primus in Smithsonian Museum

Second leg of this summers "holiday" took us through Washington DC. The "little man" and I went through the Air and Space Museum where I found this Primus mixed in with an exhibit on Arctic exploration.







I would suspect that we all think these are works of art. I guess this clinches it.

Wot, no pot-stands? I hope you found a curator to put him right!

 

Well spotted Zincman

 

They may have just been happy not to have lost the reserve cap?

 

I was just there a couple of years ago, and I do not remember seeing that.
Good eye!!

What model was it?

Aye, good luck cooking without pot stands. Perhaps they were removed so we could see the beauty of the burner column? Brass = class.

I encountered this little juwel on display at the adirondak museum. The curator said it had been this way since the 80's!

 

I can tell by the box, it is a "Juwel" -- Pun intended.
