    I just picked up this charming little stove during a holiday trip in Denmark.

    I guess it is from the 1930s?

    I wonder how much of it is not original.
    The pan supports can be home made? The air screw and tank lid are without any markings. The pump knob is of unusual metal, zink? Not brass or steel, as far as I can tell.
    The flamering is missing.

    The stove has a beautiful patina, and a number of dents to prove its age.

    Burner seems to be original. No flame shots until I get home to my «fettleshop».

    A nice crest on top of the tank.

    Pan supports of unusual shape. They are equal in shape and size, it is hard to tell if they are home made.

    Both sides of air screw and tank lid are «blank» - no text.

    The pump knob is not brass. There is no «locking mechanism» for the pump, as I have seen on similar stoves.

    The beautiful «lion feet».

    Stamped «MADE IN GERMANY» at the bottom.

    The riser tube seems to be attached/soldered to the tank.

    An update to this stove of mine.

    A year or so after buying the stove, a suitable tin, in very good condition, appeared for sale on a Norwegian site.

    What are the chances that such an empty tin show up? I mean, there are perhaps just 20-30 such stoves in Norway, - and how would this tin survive for decades?
