    This Nickel plated Radius No.100 stove was found in Australia.

    Catalogues show this variation of the Radius No.100 from 1925 and 1937 (see below).

    The silent burner on the left of this photo came with the stove. It had been repaired in the past after the burner had had a very bad experience of underburn. The yellow/gold of the burner in the photo was me grinding back large wads of sliver solder that had been used to attempt to repair the burner (some time in the past). After trial and error, I decided the burner was beyond repair. It burned too rich because of damage.

    I replaced it with an unmarked NOS Primus part which was the exact fit.

    Beautifully preserved- the No.100 is scarce enough, let alone a nickel plated version in this condition.

    The filler cap with reserve cap parking space is of course a fairly standard design shared by most manufacturers who produced this style of stove, but in this case it feels like a stepping stone to the safety valve cap subsequently developed by Radius.
