    Hi all,
    Some time ago I acquired this old Phoebus No 30 in surprisingly good condition.

    even the box wasn't very rusty

    The box has nests for all parts and all parts were present but alcohol can. So my task was to find a replacement metal bottle of the right dimensions (as you can see, I succeeded).
    The wing nut burner as all other parts is original:

    The letter "L" is embossed on the hex:

    All inscriptions are clearly visible

    On the bottom of the tank you can see " D 5"

    To reduce weight and to accommodate in a small space, the trivet is made of thick wire

    And at the end of this story the stove upside down to show nice bun feet:

    Works perfectly:

    Thanks for watching

    Really interesting outfit. With the wing-nut riser as well as bun feet could easily be first 1/2 of 1920s?:-k
