A Svea No.10 made for sale by 'A.Willander', OR a Svea No.10 sub-contracted out to be manufactured by Willanders? There doesn't seem to be any consensus on which way round! But I'm putting it here, rather than in the Sievert/Svea section because the word 'Sievert' doesn't appear anywhere on the stove, and there is nothing on tank base. This example hasn't survived quite as well as the other couple of 'Willanders' already posted. Too much of the marking has been polished away to almost nothing. Nevertheless the normal designations 'SVEA No.10' and 'PATENT' are both there to the naked eye even if my photography doesn't do them all justice. Educated guess from combination of features suggests 1920s, and most importantly it still works fine:
A piece of evidence I have found in an online archive collection (https://archive.org) seems to support the former view. A.Willander of Stockholm appears in a Canadian trade journal, 'Hardware and Metal', published in Toronto, in issues in both 1907 and 1908. Willanders appear to have been large scale international hardware traders, and in reference to the very substantial catalogue which they offered is specific mention of their trading 'Svea' brand stoves at this date:
A neat piece of corroboration of the relationship between CR Nyberg, maker of the Svea stoves, and Willanders at this date has recently been brought to my attention. The Swedish Technical Museum archive in Stockholm has various papers in its possession which belonged to CR Nyberg. One section of these papers is specifically labelled as 'Brev och räkningar mellan Nyberg och Willander 1905-1908' (Letters and bills between Nyberg and Willander 1905-1908). The archive is only available for in-person scrutiny, it is not digitised. The dates are significant as Willanders catalogues seem to indicate a switch away from Svea and to offering 'Svecia' stoves made by Erikssons instead during or immediately after 1908. This new evidence would suggest that the date of this particular No.10 Svea stove must be earlier than I had first thought, very likely c.1907/8. @Staffan Rönn @OMC
An excellent revelation. Makes sense. Ian gets the hero hat I had done some searching after seeing this 1907 Willander/SVEA connection but came up empty. Willander above got his name on the stove, took on sales/distributer role yet. Is SIEVERT on there somewhere? If not would it be the only SVEA w/o SIEVERT name (present, somewhere)? I've been sure of SVEA offerings pre1908 catalog but such details have surely been elusive. I couldn't find 1905-08 section in link but I'm taking this as confirmation (at least, a strong indicator) SVEAs were offered by Willander as early as 1905 (we had already 1907). It will be a bonus idf model # make mention in that 1905-08 ref. , for one, your No.12. thank you

I think we can now take this as definitely confirmed. The advert below was taken out on 5th June 1905 in the 'Göteborgs-Posten' newspaper (ref.) (As of the date of this posting this is also the known earliest confirmed date for finding the 'Svea' stove made by CR Nyberg on sale.)

or even 5th April 1905 - reference in 'Svenska Dagbladet' to A.Willander 'exporting' 700kr Svea stoves from Stockholm that day!
yeah... on 15 april 1905 advert by Lind Sök bland svenska dagstidningar if remember Lind was importand engineer in Nyberg factory and owner part of Nybergs Lampfabrik AB - in 1906 ESKILSTUNABODEN - till thats moment - i have impression -"was connected with cas tiron parts" - but who nows...
Finally an advert from the very beginning of the Willander/Svea co-operation, the launch just in time for Christmas 1904: ("Varbergsposten" newspaper, 8th December 1904) "Ideal Christmas present": Subsequent adverts taken out soon after in other publications indicate that there were 2 Svea models available initially No.s 1 and 0: This advert appeared in the "Göteborgs Aftonblad" newspaper on April 1st 1905, in "Arbetet" on April 4th 1905, and others soon after.
Excellent. Thank you Ian. All, Btw the the ad offers No.1 a "2 pinter" domestic, like the competition and they are actually 2 1/4 pint and No. 0 a 1 1/2 pint both with the "early" Svea roarer burner.
