    I have finished fettling this very nice Primus No. 1. I will keep as is and use rather than polish it within an inch of its life.

    Is this "K" on the end of the pump rod? What does it mean?

    I have a Primus cast iron trivet that I got with a Companion stove, but I will use a NOS Swedish pressed steel trivet with this No. 1, though.

    Leather, washers and seals from The Fettle Box.

    As this stove was made in the year my father was born, I think I'll keep it as a user. It certainly runs well.

    Hello Tony Press.
    That is a nice stove and in good condition for it's 102 year old age. And being that old; a true antique.
    Nice to see. John

    CBEA = SVEA. All of my Svea stoves have that on the burner.

    Nice Primus No. 1, by the way.
