Finally, a clear “B” stamped Primus 96

Added to my collection, been looking for quite a few years. I have a over stamped “B” by a “C” and a “C” also to cover all bases. It came with a early tin, all the parts except a spanner and original type lipstick burner which I have both of, the spanner may not be stamped correctly on both sides or the longer version, but I have the fount now.! Notice the burner is one that was fitted with a jet per some threads on the forum.
Not sure why the period after the “B”, can’t recall any info on that.

Well done, so much perseverance and vigilance finally rewarded

 

Thank you. Finally, so much looking, that and the rare version of the Optimus 80 I found after a couple years.

Nice.

 

Thank you Ken.
Duane

 

very nice

 

Thank you very much, only 96 with a clear “B” that I have seen.

Good work, Duane...
Must feel good to have finally completed that search!

 

Thank you, the search continues for a “H” and a “AF”.

With fire now. New lipstick and mesh, pip, cap washer, runs a little yellow but maybe even the new burner needs to burn crud off. Will empty fuel as a flush and add some more. My kero is two or three years old now that has been in metal cans. Flame has gotten bluer since the pic was taken.

Nice Duane

 

Thank you. Drained fuel, tried again, good blue flame, then gets some yellow after five minutes maybe. Past experience, new doesn’t necessarily mean perfect. Parts get red after five minutes or so.

Nice,,, really nice…

 

Beautiful Duane, your collection is amazing.

 

Thank you Matt.

Thank you, only clearly stamped "B", none in the SRG are, so a rare find like WWII stoves.
Duane

 

Glad you have now only two to go.
Hopefully the others will come this year.

 

Thank you. Finding the last two would be a miracle. The one from 1918(H) does exist, I’ve seen two, missing them because I was on vacation or seller ended sale early. Not sure a “AF” exists.

Congratulations, Duane! I know you've been looking for that for a long time.
