    I need to find some flame rings for these burners.

    I ditched the asbestos washer and swapped for a Fettle Box one.

    I will fit this burner to my favourite stir frying stove, my Primus No. 2 that currently gas a Liberty burner on it.


    Cheers

    Tony

    [@Mark Layman. I tried to buy all the 7 that were listed as remaining; I got a message from the seller who apologised for first sending me only one (which hasn't arrived yet), refunding me money for three, and then sending me the rest (3) of what he had. So all in all I should have four when the original one arrives]

    Hi @Tony Press . Nice photos of a No. 4129 burner and wrapping paper. I wonder when it was manufactured?

    The wrapper has A/B B A Hjorth & Co which indicated pre-1955 when the company name was changed to BA BAHCO.

    The top of the burner has PRIMUS SWEDEN and some Arabic lettering. I know that Primus included some Russian Cyrillic lettering on their burners as late as 1936, so this burner is likely later than that date.

    The Primus No.21 stove mentioned on the wrapper was discontinued around 1951 I believe. However it might still have been mentioned on stove spares, like burners...

    So your NOS Primus burner might be from the pre-WW2 to 1955 period.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    @Tony Press I am glad you got an original for your No. 2 plus some extras.
    I used mine for a home brew stove job. It works great if you saw my post of flame pics.

    @tretrop

    48mm is correct for the No. 4129 burner for the No. 2 stove.

    Cheers

    My measure was the inside diameter of the cylinder.

    Cheers

    @kerophile

    My steel “Liberty” No. 2 flame ring slips neatly inside my NOS Swedish flame ring. Both fit the 4129 burner.

    Degrees of freedom...

    Cheers
