Early Primus no 501 regulated roarer

A small contribution to the collection of this primus model no 501, this one manufactured 1926 (stamped P).

 

Beautiful woman

 

A good find complete with the original regulated burner, and intact control knob of Bakelite-type material.

The market for regulated roarer burners must have been very small indeed.

 

it is pre 1911 stove

fuel cap is younger

 

Hi @gieorgijewski excuse my ignorance but how do you know it is pre 1911?

 

There is a P stamped under the logo, isnt that the year stamp?

 

@Oskarsweden The date code letter would be within the circle of the tank base script, not outside. The 'P' is a manufacturing code, the exact meaning is unknown.

 

it is not "P" as the Year SIGN
------------------------------------------------

in the time of production - was visible changes
sets of changes give us elements of datation

 

Thanks for answering

 

Beautiful shining brass. Like new

 

Fantastic, a real survivor!

Alec.

 

imo - it is "proper" datation

more info could be created from "PRI-logo-MUS" detail

 

@Oskarsweden.
What a stunning example of a 501, the finish really shows off the superb lettering and the knurling on the filler cap

 

@Oskarsweden if it is possible please add detailed photo of logo from PRI - LOGO - MUS fro that example...
