    IMG20220214102539.jpg Bought this stove for aprox. $45.
    Lipstick jet was like 0.4 mm. I gave it a massage with a ballhammer and now it burns OK.

    I am guessing the stove is made in 1938-39. The markings says Radius or AB Radius, except for filler cap and pump knob where it says Radius Ltd.

    Hi @totte Nicely presented stove. I believe thst you are correct with your dating of your stove to the late 1930s as it seems to be a transition stove with dating clues of both Radius and Radius Ltd. features.

    This Radius No.17 is also a transition stove:

    Radius 17. Late 1930s/Early 1940s. Transition stove.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.
