"L" means LÅDA which means "box" in Swedish, referring to the tin in which the stove came. A version with a "K" after the end came in a cardboard carton -- K for KARTONG (carton) HJ
Not at all. But why it was a sub-brand I don't know. The Campus range consisted, at different times, various distinctive models outside of the traditional brass 3-leggers - except for this one for some reason where the name is only on the tin. I don't know why that is. Most 121L's don't have Campus on the tin.
Interesting. If the "Campus" designation was only on the tin, then perhaps it was something to do with marketing and/or distribution channels much like a PTC 71 vs. an Optimus 80. But I speculate. HJ
The word "campus" derives from a Latin word for "field" and was first used to describe the large field adjacent Nassau Hall of the College of New Jersey in 1774. Campus could have been used in this case to imply "for use in the field". The "Trekker" portable woodburning stove is an example of implied use advertising.
