    Hi here are some photos of a Phoebus No.30 from the 1930's - 1950's, I would estimate, as the tin has the stylised Lighthouse emblem, which is shown in their 1934 catalogue. The tin has seen better days, and this particular example of the stove carries a Primus burner. Nevertheless it is a handsome and powerful stove:

    The spirit can is a later addition.

    Best Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Hi Trevor, Thanks.
    Here are some photos of the box of this Phoebus No.30 stove, taken in daylight, rather than with the doubtful colour effects of low-energy lighting:

    The stove legs look a lot better in daylight as well!

    Hi, here are a couple of photographs of the Phoebus No.30 operating. I had fettled the stove by this stage but not yet polished it:
