    IMG_20240412_160229401.jpg A pretty solid Norwegian stove. Powerful. IMG_20240412_155955223.jpg
    It was equipped with a Primus burner, a Radius wind shield, a wrench also probably Radius, and Primus prickers. The legs were missing, which I made up. IMG_20240412_154900047.jpg
    Plug, acts as a handle for the pump. IMG_20240412_155740160.jpg
    Nice, strong burn. IMG_20240412_160828440.jpg IMG_20240412_161248644.jpg IMG_20240412_161053822.jpg
    Interesting box. It was probably left a long time to sunlight and humidity. Graphics rather unrestorable. Probably can be protected with some agent to prevent further deterioration. For now, I used natural oil to sharpen the remains of the graphic a bit.

    And here in studio conditions.

    I searched the catalogs in the library, but could not assign this model to those of the 1930s and 1950s, due to the different type of can closure.
    Thank you for your attention.

    @Knee A nice well travelled example.

    I really like the 41, as well as an attractive shape it has some well thought-out features. The reserve cap doubling as the pump knob reduces the liklihood of it becoming lost, and it's a good chunky part, easy to grip or apply leverage too, unlike the fiddlier types used on many 1/2-pint stoves which are a pain to use with cold fingers. The spirit cup is also a good size for a guaranteed first-time start.

    An ideal cold-weather stove!

    I have to remember about each time I use this, that the reserve cap doubles as the knob for the pump.
