    Hello!
    This is a new, never used Optimus Princess alcoholstove with a nice wooden cutting board on the top. The modell is P24A. The tape from the factory is still left. Annyone know how long the kitchen was in production? I think they are rare here in Sweden.
    Best wishes!

    Wow, manufactured in Santa Fe Springsw, CA. That's just down the road from me. Who would have thought an Optimus product made in the USA. I wonder if it is a relabled type product? Wonder what company was the original manufacturer?

    A pretty stove.

    @Charla may

    Welcome!

    Could you please give a little more information? Are you looking at new or used? Where do you want to use the stove? To do what?

    That’s A fine looking unit!
    I have a Kenyon Homestrand….

    And it is a compliment to the white gas and kerosene fired stoves?

    If you look at the burners I wonder if they have the Optimus burner (#209)

    @Charla may, I found one today for $20 on CL. Not nearly as nice as the above unit but a good start. It's a straight Model 24.

    I just noticed this.

    Santa Fe Springs was (for awhile) the home base of Optimus USA. While there, their sales rep/jack of all trades was Clayton Abbott, who bought out Optimus USA’s parts when they called it quits, and then founded A&H.

    Many of us bought stoves and parts from A&H until they closed a couple years ago.
