    I’m seeking your views on my conclusion that the first two numbers on this box represent the year (1984).

    I arrived at this conclusion after looking through the Reference Gallery and many discussions about the Optimus 111. It fits the time period for the bax and also the features of the stove.

    NOW an 84 dated example to join the "..."83" dated example." one can double check that the dated 83 & 84 are exact match. the 83/year range ??-?? having "> no windscreen or brass windscreen " <--this further supports the well documented sequence i *developed (well, its documented lol). *on shoulders of those before me, TY, YW.
