Great grandads stoves . Questions

Hello people.i have been my great grandfathers old kero stoves. In there is a primus no 5 dated 1933 with a different looking trivet ( see pic and a svea companion stove (1934 according to instructions) that ive never heard of and there also this wee bugger with a handle that i can make out Hog and Co Paris . Any info on these eould be great. Thanks

Regarding the “svea companion” stove you mentioned, look at all the stampings on it. It is most likely to be an Australian “Companion” stove made under licence from Sievert. The early ones had both “Svea” and “Companion” stamped on them.

If the instructions are actually for that stove, they are very interesting in themselves as they would be quite early in the production of Companion stoves. Where were the instructions printed?

Hi i will clean the stove bit later as its VERY dirty but here is pic of the instructions

 

Hi sorry spelling error on first post. The small stove is made by Hag & Co Paris

 

Great!

Check out the Companions in the Reference Gallery as you go along, and see if you get a match.

Cheers

Will do .this is the only writing on the stove

 

It’s an Australian made Companion stove.

These stoves are of the same high standard as Sievert stoves.

I’d be interested to see whether the burner parts are Companion or Svea.

Hi will check tomorrow. By chance do you know anything about that hag and co stove ?

 

WoW!
Thanks for sharing.

 

Hi .im sorry but there is primus stamped on the flame spreader so obviously not its original.

 

@Ross Hayes

It may just be the outer cap of the burner that is Primus. These parts are easily interchangeable. Check to see if there’s markings on the burner itself.

But it really doesn’t make any difference to the operation of the stove.


Cheers
