Svea 105 - Daddy longlegs

I have this longlegged mystery.
The legs and risertube are longer, and as you can see, there are original Svea markings on the legs "Made in Sweden"





It burns great with the 1239 spreader.


Here you can see it next to siblings no 106, and no 1.



Does anybody have a clue to what the long legs are for?

Best regards

 

Excellent !!!

 

Thank you for posting, that is an absolute beauty, congrats!
I have some detail to add. to your reference post, re your question. I do not recall seeing a 105 heater / stove but the long riser, long removeable legs, and SRV filler cap are parts used on models originally produced/sold as a stove/heater. All parts new in the box allowed use as both a heater or a daddy long legs stove.
In-general SRV filler cap is often provided when "original" stove is/was fitted with regulated burner. I for one would appreciate better look at SRV cap (w/PN?) if that is still handy.

 

Hi @Swe-stove what a absolute gem of a stove, the electro plating and all the engraving is stunning even the legs are stamped many thanks for sharing it with us all

 

That is a beautiful stove.

 

A true beauty. The Svea 105/106 are among the most beautiful of the brassies, given especially their graphics. The nickel finish and condition make this fantastic.

 

I agree! What a lovely stove you've got there!! Thank you for sharing it with us! Nice blue flame, too! 'Scuse me whilst I wipe the drool off my keyboard, after seeing this stunner!! Well done, and God Bless!

Every Good Wish,
Doc

 

Very nice find man, congrats. It looks great!

 

My guess (and I emphasize GUESS) would be that the legs and burner of a different heater/stove have been swapped on. My reasoning is open to challenge but is simple. Heater/stove combination devices I have seen have a ring that the feet are attached to, making the device easier to push along a floor and less likely to dig holes in pine boards.

 

SVEA No.25 rare!

Svea No 25

Svea No.26 heater stove, 1920s.

Svea No.35 heaters - spot the difference

Some Svea heaters/stoves

 

Hi, I reckon that this @Swe-stove Beautiful stove heater came out off the factory this way. It is effectively a Svea No.35 with a Svea No.105 tank

1. All the parts are period correct except the tank, which is marked Svea No.105 rather than Svea No.35.

2 The polished Nickel plate is uniform and near perfect.

3. Swe-stove’s Svea 105 carries the same distinctive combined filler cap incorporating both pressure release and SRV valve as used on the earliest Svea No.35 stoves.

Distinctive Combined Filler/Pressure Release/SRV Used on the earliest Svea No.35 stoves.
Reference @igh371.
Ian says: No way to give precise dates but this variant must be from the late-'20s/early '30s.

Thanks. Mind expanded.

 

Thanx guys, interesting thoughts

I can see the riser being from a heater, that is plausible,, but not the legs, heaters have no legs...
Or were they sold to be combined stoves/heaters? Dual settings weather you were heating or cooking?

 

H @Swe-stove the particular models we are discussing here were dual-purpose and could be set up as either heaters using parabolic reflectors, or as conventional stoves.

Ooh that’s a very pretty stove. Did it come with the heater attachments as well.
