Courtesy of Sylvia & Alan Black This item was advertised in the 1920-1930 era in green in tool catalogues. This one appears to have been made as a red model. It is a genuine Primus product with a logo etc attached. The stove inside has a chrome finish and was in the shelter when purchased. It is Primus Model No 50. The shelter (this is what Primus calls it) has 3 legs which fold under, a large side opening door and a cover or lid with a handle. The whole thing has a sensible carry handle. This one below had me fooled. I found it at our local car boot sale and thought it had been produced by a manufacturer like the Primus one. Although we soon worked out that it was a combination of a biscuit tin and an old gallon fuel oil can. It is nicely finished off, in so much that all the cut parts are clipped, folded back and beaten down to protect the hands. Three small rings (like small curtain rings) are fixed to the inside of the base in position to hold the three legs steady. It takes a standard size fixed Primus or similar. The poor mans answer to the Primus shelter.
