Thanks to the generosity of @Rodger Willows and his van, a few boxes of lamps and stoves and associated materials made the journey from Australia across Bass Strait to my place (arrived yesterday). Here are some bits of Swedish new old stock (NOS): As I go through the boxes I’ll post photos in this thread. Thanks, Rodger. Cheers Tony
@Tony Press Tony, that's a GREAT haul of goodies! Well done! If you run across one of those illusive "Baby Butt" burner caps, I am in need of one. This is the cap I mean: I have the burner, but need the cap. Please let me know if you run across one that you don't need. Many thanks, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, - Doc PS - Photo credit to @kerophile
Dear @Doc Mark If I found one of those flame plates I would be very happy indeed, as would @Rodger Willows, who has gone through the rather gruelling task of making not one, but two of them! SVEA 801 Burner Plate V. 2.0 I shall keep my eyes open. I make sure I inspect every bit of packing in the 6 boxes I received in case I've missed something. Cheers Tony
Dear @Tony Press HOLY MOLY!! That was some task that you and @Rodger Willows undertook! IF I had those skills, I would attempt to make one for myself. Sadly, I do not and therefore cannot. I won't give up hope that an original cap might come my way, one day. Thank you for sharing your "Master Class for Baby Butt Burner Caps"! I'm gobsmacked to see how y'all did that! Every Good Wish, Doc PS - Tony, your mention of going through the box in which the goodies were shipped, reminded me of when I bought that stove and burner that needs the Baby Butt cap. After seeing that it was not attached, I went through the box, the wrapping, and looked all around on the floor, thinking I might have accidentally dropped it. Alas, not to be found. I even contacted the nice lady from whom I had bought the stove, and she had no knowledge of it. Sigh....
@Doc Mark It was Rodger who did all the design, beating, hammering and fitting. I just helped with a very small part of the process, by adding some charm... Tony
@Tony Press Where there is heat, there is fire! And, hey, "charm" adds a good deal of heat, in the right circumstances! (Don't tell my wife I said that!) - Doc
Same box, but used: Next boxes: Interesting Australian stove with Primus burners. The Shield’s edition is discussed here, but this is a “Strathmore” stamped stove. Another intriguing Australian stove - the Heatapan. See here. 1935 No. 96. A Primus 1100 converted to gas (not gasoline!). Some very interesting lamps & parts as well if you want a squiz. Cheers Tony
That No.1100 is quite something! Love those Heatapans too, so wacky! Thanks for sharing the haul Tony, great to see.
