This is the first stove of this type for me, what an awesome little stove. If someone could point me in the direction of finding a date/general time frame of manufacture, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks,
@JCColeman-3 WELCOME , Thanks for posting. The gist of your, point me in the direction, inquiry is refreshing: I researched the 42 model sequence but did not get as far as your version (yours might be the last version?). Duane pointed to examples in the gallery, it would be that while reviewing catalogs (w/subscription). It would be best to point /link to informative comment(s) re your version for you to find your details that way [show you how to fish ] , sorry i do not have link(s) handy. Some dating hints: "Ltd" present, larger filler cap, the tin... Absent details i could point to, [ I'll feed you fish ] I suggest: " a change occurred after 39 (maybe after WW2? c'52?) Radius 42 offered with LARGE SRV filler cap." That and ... 1940s - 63 is a w i d e tentative year range for starters. The year range for yours is likely more narrow than that.
Thank you. I don’t mind doing the work to narrow down the date, I was just at a loss to even get started. This is my first stove of this type, and won’t be the last, so I figured I had better just jump on in.
