primus no 535

very good friends to all.
I bought this primus kitchen no 535 and I noticed that it has a large part of the Radius components.
its previous owner adulterates the kitchen or is there a manufacturing history???

 

I guess your stove was made in 1963 or 1964 as Optimus had aquired Radius then and used up the stock of Radius parts on Primus and Optimus stoves.

 

your contribution in clarifying the mystery is appreciated

 

Looks home made in some parts, like the tank?

 

I think the tank looks like steel sheet welded in an automatic sheet welder and then nickel plated - this indicates a relatively modern serial production - could be 1960's or maybe later but I still think 1963 may be the year.
Can you find a year stamp on the tank? Possibly a circle with "A""letter""number" inside but more probable a row of 6 digits were the last two "6*" would be the year?

 

gentlemen the tank is bronze

 

the tank doesn't have much information

 

That indicates late 1964 or later - some Primus kero stoves lost the date stamp somewhat earlier.

 

I still think the tank looks homemade, never seen anything like it from Primus nor Optimus. But for a homemade tank it looks good.

 

There are more 535:s with that style of tank...

That pump front plate is thought to be 1955-62.
