    I have a couple NIB, but found the plastic cup to be brittle and non usable. I suspect the Optimus 126 set may have inspired the Trangia 28-T. ADC6ADCD-AE34-40A7-994D-E551E3E76494.jpeg DDEC7166-5B1F-4F86-9450-6E665518379D.jpeg 240853E7-2266-4C11-9C9B-5449F4CBF395.jpeg

    I saw that item on evilbay. Liked that it was Finnish, but didn't really need it, with the no-work situation.
    Did it come with a Svea 123 cap/cup or is that just for reference?
    Have fun with it.

    IMO it's a stretch to call Optimus 126 a "cook set" but ok
    There are 6 pcs: 3 bowls, lid, gripper and white plastic cup.
    The 0.75L bowl is the only piece that is marked, that text is
    OPTIMUS International, Made in Finland.
    While mine is in hand I can add some specs, 3 bowls filled to brim:
    0.75L, 140 x 60mm
    0.55L, 128 x 50mm
    0.40L, 116 x 46mm
    Sm. cup, Etherman shows above and
    here's the quite sm. Optimus pot gripper,

    unmarked, the same one that comes with the 88, 99 & 199.
    As mentioned above the 126 is in the library: 1976 Optimus Catalogue and 1980's Optimus
