This unknown model has been featured in CCS before by others. Burns nicely so I have added a couple more pictures, though probably best not to use the trivet as it burns very hot.
@Sedgman Nice little stove, and not too common i have one my self, the large burner on these look out of proportion, they look as though the burner has come from a larger stove ( a two pint stove )
Surprising as it seems these were a genuine Parasene product @ajvuik, the rationale behind the odd burner size has been discussed before when other examples have been posted. Truely odd proportions though! Going really well @Sedgman, like a Bantam cock it punches way above its weight! Almost comical looking at the burner and its output, then down at the tiny tank.
Interesting, Ik don't recall those discussions. But if it is original, yes that is very odd. I imagine that such an oversized burner might also cause problems with the tank over heating. I doubt if I would make this my daily driver. But that's just my 2 cents
I've had a couple over the years but soon passed them on. Quite what niche was envisioned with a tiny tank, large burner and fixed, non-travelling format I don't know, but i've never found it!
I thought it was a Parasene "Mighty Atom"? Great little thing, I have the silent and Zora burner variants. It doesn't last long on a fill but boils a kettle in ultra-quick time..... Alec.
For what it's worth I think this stove dates to the late fifties or early sixties. I really have no idea what it was for but if guessing I would say my father may have had it for melting Pearl Glue when carpenters used that glue prior to more modern wood adhesives such as PVA. They had a small cast iron glue pot and had to melt the small glue pearls. Just a guess but the dating is probably closer to correct.
That might make some sense. For melting glue you could use a lot of heat for a short period of time. A smaller tank means less weight. A bit like a modern glue gun...
