There was a Primus designed to function as either a lantern or a stove auctioned on Ebay a couple of years ago, but for the life of me, I cannot remember what the model number was. It sported a glass globe, made of brass and was a white gas or kerosene unit. I don't think it was one of the 100 year anniversary ones. Can someone tell me what I am trying to remember? Don
I have seen examples published here - just don't know where they are. A quick look through the CCS catalogues: Optimus 1939 Primus 1935 Primus 1939
itchy - you may well be correct. I think it is that one that I have seen an example of on CCS and I think it is in the Reference Galleries.
that radius 17 is lovely. i wonder what's involved in making a reproduction of the lamp part to fit a 1 pt collapsible, and indeed what's the market?
Christer Carlsson also posted some pictures a while back of a little Radius 42 with a mantle attachement. It is one cool little number. It used a mantle somewhat similar in appearance to those on the Aladdin kerosene lamp -- that might be a good project.
Aha! Not a Primus at all but a Radius 17! That's what I remember seeing. A gorgeous little lantern that is. Many thanks. Don
The Radius stove tank No.17 with a wind proofed light attachment was called No.145. (As an indoor lamp it was called No.148.) If you used the very same light attachment on a 21 tank it was called No.143, and that one is probably the most common model. It pop up quite often. Here's one of mine: If you want to see more examples, it's just to browse through the Radius section at CPL here. Choose "Indoor lamps" for Radius 146 (which is the indoor version on a 21 tank), but "Outdoor lamps" for the 145 or 143. The 143 is the most common, and it pop up quite often. But still some foreigners tend to pay through their noses to get one of them.
