    I think this is a 1912 Primus no 230 (it was my father’s). It seems to be complete in original a box with spares.

    Fantastic. A true heirloom, it's obviously been well looked after, all the usually missing parts are still there! And well maintained too, judging by the spare parts. It's always a pleasure to see stoves which show evidence of the human touch!

    A 230 set is always lovely to see.
