Hi all, Displayed here is a portable parabolic radiator/stove combo from the French company Guenet & Abbat, Paris. This is the No. 156 gasoline fed Succes radiator, made early to mid 1920,s. Also probably the first parabolic radiator type/model of the Succes brand, with that early ball feet tank and the very special "Femina" external pump. Can be seen in paperwork as early as 1924 and also in the 1926 Succes catalogue (Neil McRae). Nice patina on this one and I had to restore the burner, the Femina pump and the NRV (the NRV is screwed onto the tank and has female threads for attaching the pump ). Needed a lot of pre heating but finally gave a good performance with a fried egg as a reward. /Conny 1924 ………. 1926 …….
Wow, what a beautiful heater you have there. The restoration and restoration photos are top notch. The historic paperwork is the icing on the cake. Thank you for saving and sharing such a great piece. Ben
Well Conny, that is either a very small skillet or an enormous burner! What a lovely design, very 1920s Alec.
@multi-cho - This Succés radiator/stove also came in a kerosene version. In the 1926 catalogue exactly the same as the gasoline version, so probably just a different jet size. @Rangie Alec - I used a small 15 cm(6 inch) frying pan for the photo session. Burner diameter 10 cm (4 inch)! /Conny
