Just an old Primus 100 from 1931 - date code "V" Runs good with both roarer and silencer - silencer is a modern cap from BaseCamp. It came in a nice home made box - a previous owner thought enough of the stove to build a nice wooden box for their stove. But alas it was stored and neglected as seen in the " as it arrived " pic. But after some basic cleaning and polishing, she's as good as new , except for the trivet, which needs some TLC Last pic is "as it arrived". Cheers Tom
Yup, certainly a nice job you've done there, drooling at the pics. Hope I can find one too I can fettle. Cheers Ron
Hi Tom, an impressive fettle on a lovely stove. Aren't the engraving/markings on early stoves wonderful? You were fortunate to get both the flame-plate and silent damper, as these are usually the first parts to go missing from a veteran stove. I bet that old stove would have some tales to tell, if only it could talk. Take a bow! Best Regards, Kerophile.
Beautiful stove. Very nice, wait, make that extremely nice pictures. Thanks for letting this one be shown on CCS. Outstanding. Best, Al
Hi All, Thanks so much for the kind words ya'll , the stove is my oldest and one of my best runners . Nagant, it's like night and day with the roarer vs. the silencer - well worth the few extra bucks for a BaseCamp replacement Kerophile , unfortunately my stove did not come with the original silencer , but I was lucky enough to get an aftermarket replacement from Mike at BC They work great and are as quite as a church mouse, sweet . And those tank graphics are super , most likely having been well protected in that nice wooden box all these years Cheers Tom
I have a same type overhere. Yours looks far more shiny ! What did you use to clean and make it shine? Sincerely, Kor
