I received this nice trivet along with a Primus 1 S (1914). I have not encountered one before. Maybe one of you has some knowledge?
I have two of these. One that is quite corroded by rust, and this one. I think this came with an Optimus No1. Presumably aftermarket stock?
@Magne Fahre Hi, yes, I Guess these trivets were after market replacements. In any case Stanisław‘s one is not like your if that is what you meant. Cheers, Nicola
@Knee the little plates on the trivet look like they could be home made repairs or additions to adapt the trivet for a different stove to the one it was intended for? The fact that they are not all the same also makes me think this? Nice Thing ! Nick
Those are the standard cast Optimus trivets from the 1920s (still available in the early 1930s). Peter
@Magne Fahre I took some blurry photos. You may miss some details. @nmp Not excluded. Though this is the first time I've seen these patterns on the rims, too. I'll clean it up a bit from the corrosion and take a closer look. Maybe something will emerge?...
Yes, you'll see them on the site here in the catalogues from the 1910s & 1920s. Easily identifiable through the tapered slats and the "Made in Sweden" scratched on the underside. Here's a new 1S Optimus with trivet (still painted gold): Optimus No. 1S 1932
