Järvenpää Aluminitehdas - Finland

Good to see that you have got one of those few Finnish made stoves also!

This miniature anti tank mine (Mini Tellu in Finnish ) looking stove is very compact. I have had one for some years.

Would be interesting to know if they got a license from Koma Nyköpingsverken KOMA or do they just copied it. On stamp they mention "Patents", but I am not sure if that relates to that stove or generally that "ALU" company had some patents on that time.

 

Nice and so "simple".
I like such simple design.

 

Beautiful symmetrical flame pattern. Good thing there's no wind.

Thanks for the comments,
Father-in-law gave this stove as a birthday present. He had acquired it in the early 60's.
Observations:
Needs decent preheating,
No flame control,
Wind sensitive - needs wind shield,
Heavy (compared to catfood can stoves),
Maintenance - prickering time to time,
Boil Time - moderate as long as it is calm,
No sooting.

I decided not to polish it - let the patina be.

 

Järvenpää，I have been there ten years ago,it’s very small town,everyday I have nothing to do ,I drive bicycles,I love there,

 

I made some measurements:

Weight 474 g (1.0 lb) filled

Height 6.4 cm (2 ½“) packed mode

Diameter Ø 12.2 cm (4 ¾“)

 

I have one too but it has corroded from the bottom and leaks

 

@Kall399 If you start a thread with some pictures of the problem, somebody might be able to advise a repair method?

 

I know how to fix it I just don't see myself using it so it can stay as an intact display piece

 

Nice stove! How do you fill it up?

 

Lift the steel lid in the middle of the stove and pour sprit. The material inside absorbs liquid quite a lot.
