Hi friends Here is my COMET NO6 Hope you friends like it. The stove is in excellent perfect condition. ///Fernando
O.K. that's it. I'm going to South Georgia Island and look for an abandoned Comet 6. That's my best chance of ever acquiring one! Ben
Hi friends thank you for the kind of comments. Ben I was looking for a COMET NO6 or OPTIMUS NO9 for years. I thought I never going to own one of those two stove but finally find one of the two. This little one will be one of my winter Project. ///Fernando
As I recall, the Comet was evacuated from South Georgia when the "beach camp" party was rescued. If you're going to South Georgia, though, I believe the larger Primus they abandoned on the final day of the crossing is still there. (It's been awhile since I looked into this, so I may be mistaken.) ....Arch
The last Comet 6 to come up on eBay sold on May 12, 2019 for $1,525. My $1,500 bid was second place. It still hurts. Ben
The whole trip would probably be cheaper than getting one off EBay. Plus your chances of finding one there are greater than winning a bid. Let's go.
It’s a beautiful stove, I am glad that I have one as well albeit with a less interesting story of acquisition.
I posted pics 15 years ago give it take and have posted up a few just a moment ago. I exhumed it from storage after seeing someone post up their pics and story.
