Not your favorite, perhaps, but your rarest? Mine would definitely be the Landers, Frary & Clark Universal No. 0 I found a few weeks ago at the local antique store: Also, my prototype military stove, possibly designated the T58-2: Although an Optimus 00 isn't rare, the case I got with mine is: What's yours? Photos encouraged.
Off the top of my head, without looking… Brandt & Steele 2-Burner Suitcase Stove (Kerosene) Basford No. Camp 4 Stove Gloria 388 Portable Stove Cheers Tony
Evening, @The Warrior , and All, The stove we own that is the most rare, is our Glenwood Camp Cooker, and it's outstanding Bluebird oven. So far, no others have been found, despite looking for a very long time! Glenwood Camp Cooker Circa 1910-1920. Our second most rare stoves, are two Clayton and Lambert #3 stoves. These are quite simply amongst the best designe stoves I've ever seen, PERIOD! Read all about it here: Clayton & Lambert #3 in action, at CASG 9, etc. So, there you have it! I hope you found these interesting. They are both excellent stove systems, and work a treat! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Some incredible stoves thus far! I love learning about all the varying models, etc. So much to learn. So many different makes, models, styles...
There are a lot of rare stoves. Most of them are rare because they weren't commercially successful, of poor quality, or just lacking appeal and not kept. I've got several that are the only examples known. Rare doesn't mean valuable. Ben
This wasn't meant to be a debate on what makes a stove rare. I know rare doesn't mean valuable. Never said that. Just thought it would be nice to see some rare stoves, whatever makes them rare. Love to learn.
An oddity, rare because it’s is not marked with the manufacturer’s name: Unnamed Range Stove (possibly Optimus/Lux/Gloria) Cheers Tony
No. 12 Cook Quick Okeefe & Merritt is nice little compact stove from the 20's-30's . Daryl SoCal more pictures from gallery here
I think* I have one of the first generations of radius no. 21's. I'm not sure though, it's definitely my oldest stove. And DEFINITELY the hardest to find spare parts for haha
The Arara 37. So rare no one even knows anyone who had parts for it. It did lead me to CCS, years ago. But you can't fettle without proper Inobtainium.
Interesting topic! But hard to figure out which stove I have that should be the rarest. Perhaps the oldest Primus from around 1891? The rarity lies in its age and being the very first production model of Primus. And the probability that F.W. Lindqvist himself has had his hands on it during its manufacturing.
