    Well, it's a kero stove with a silent burner, but a Primus it isn't, unless there markings we don't see in the photos.

    Interesting stove that I haven't seen before.
    PYROS - Greek for fire.
    The burner design looks early.

    I think I saw pyros no:00 when I visited the primuseum on the Internet around 2011.
    Now the primuseum site has been reorganized.
    I can't find the same thing I saw then.
    As far as I know, primuseum is a member of ccs, so it would be good for someone who can speak English well to see my writing and inquire there to find out more details.

    thank you @multi-cho ,
    we may as well alert @Primuseum if we're bringing him up

    Looks like a 1 pinter in it's tin, gotta like that. From the little we can see it looks like it's well-made and copying an Optimus 00. If it is a stove you have in-hand we need better pics, if not well.... :-k .

    For me it's the first i recall seeing a "PYROS" :thumbup: and nothing even vaguely comes to mind.
    I zoom-in and can see text on roarer and tank but don't recognize the characters... Russian/or similar is a guess with near zero confidence. I come up empty re logo when i zoom-in.

    It's not a Swedish PYRO, it is a
    PYROS No. 00 from ???,
    it need not be related to PYRO, nonetheless @z1ulike and @igh371 are as familiar with PYRO as anyone and probably have noticed this one.
    It's a NICE ONE at any rate.

    Pyros 00 Brasil_018.jpg @multi-cho

    Pyros from Brasil, South América.

    Pyros 00 Brasil_06.jpg

    I have not the stove, it was for sale on a local "evil-bay" and I saved the images for reference pourposes.

    No idea of her date of birth... May be @Primuseum has more information.-

    It's nice to see a clearer picture. Thank you for your contribution.
    The most curious thing is the head of the square Pyros at the top. I'm really curious how the spiral tubes are connected.

    Enrique nicely done, thank you,
    Well done by all.
    interwebs tell me: Portuguese is language of Brazil, Brazil = the majority of population of S. American which makes Portuguese the most widely spoken language in South America.

    For cross-ref. and search purposes,
    re I don't recognize the characters, ... the text on stove & tin is Portuguese:
    GASOL BRASIL ~ *GASOL BRAZIL [*will like help please to translate GASOL ]
    PYROS marca registrada ~ registered trademark
    and
    What is the text to the right of No. 00? :
    [top line] **_________ ? ** help here please, and under that maybe:
    BRASILERA ~ Brazilian, if I've guessed that correctly. [if so, it is not simply made in Brazil]

    [ globally for fashionable young ladies "a brazillian" has a whole new meaning, but for this stove apparently she is a beauty!! vs Brasilero ]

    PYROS DESMONTAVEL ~ REMOVABLE [ dobrável ~ collapsible ]
    [ ***...ERICA ?] ***____? GASOL Ltd. ***more help needed. This one is key, being the maker's name.

    that may be all from me, thanks to all

    You mean the burner?

    Pyros 00 Brasil_014.jpg

    It's the same as the roarer on the Optimus #00.

    and i thought i was done :^o There is precedent for oil companies (kero/petrol) to rebadge stoves. Vaccuum oil or some such i vaguely recall. Others will recall. In this case, not sure how it could be a rebadged Optimus/Swedish stove (made in Brazil) however it may have been made for GASOL? gotta run catch up when i can
    -----------------

    PS
    Indústria ok !!!
    Brasileira

    you do know better, it is wrong for me to say it but one word is Brazilian (vs Brasil) so i have this stuck in my craw, translation "... is not simply made in Brazil" or, is it really???

    @OMC

    Another "liason" to the stove from @stug v may be the massive Italian migration to the Brazilian southeast. From Sao Paulo, Curitiba and Porto Alegre.

    Keep searching my friend! "The truth is out there..."

    Yes... Spiral fuel pipe burners refer to this picture.
    It's a unique way.

    @multi-cho As I see it (and it is my personal opinion) everything in this stove refers to a simple technology of construction (cast iron frame, the use of tubing avoiding the casting of the burner) and, may be a very different interpretation of the use of a stove than the Swedish one.
    I have another set of pictures from the "local evil-bay" of a range with three burners (more like the Swedish ones) made in Milan, Italy but with a concept totally different from the northern ranges the fount being part of the frame. Here she goes as example:

    The ID plate
    Antiguo Primus enrico pozzi milano Marca Universal de apparecchi gas di petroleo6.jpg

    The full view
    Antiguo Primus enrico pozzi milano Marca Universal de apparecchi gas di petroleo12.jpg

    Can you see the pump in the left?

    What doesn't appears on the images is the filling spout and the pressure release valve but I guess it may be in the same side as the pump...
    Antiguo Primus enrico pozzi milano Marca Universal de apparecchi gas di petroleo4.jpg

    My point is: Different construction approach to a similar product already known.

    I sincerily expect not having bored you :oops: with my thoughts...
