    I bought the stove two months after the tin.
    The stove had no burner , pot rests or pump nob.
    I eventually bought an Optimus 00 tank with a Primus burner giving me something to work with.
    Yesterday I found some small spun brass cups and figured I might be able to use one of them to make a flame spreader.
    The idea worked out well and I was able to light and make coffee on the 99 year old stove after making the pot rests .
    The stove was purchased in March 2017 and was lit for the first time today.
    I need to make two more flame spreaders and a set of pot rests to get my other two Primus 210's going. The other stove manufacture dates are 1929 and 1966.

    I tested the flame ring on a Radius 21 before using it on the Primus 210.
