Hi guys! A friend of mine (kjell) got this stove in his collection and he asked me if I knew something about this stove but I didn't know anything..... So he asked me if I could put his questions on a forum where the knowledge exists. Here is the stove: I told Kjell that the stove is from about the early 1900's,,,, correct? Kjell's questions: Which brand is it? When was it produced? Rare? Best Regards Magnus
Just wanted to say that you come up with some of the most unusual and artistically pleasing stoves I have ever seen. Thanks for the photos. I will be checking this thread daily to see any information posted. Best Regards, HTG
I thought I had it figured as a straight-forward meths stove until I saw the final photo. Good grief!! |imgRemoved|
Hi! Nice to hear HTG!! But I assume that it's just a coincidence that I post some topics about rare stoves, but I really don't know.... Nice that you appreciate it anyway! Best Regards Magnus
Same thoughts went true my mind when I saw the stove but then I looked a bit closer and understood that I was wrong..... I think that this stove is running on red-spirit. You can see the spirit container on the right side of the stove.... Do you see the lever that looks like an pump? That leder regulate the brass flat, do you understand? I mean, if I turn it to right, the brass flat goes down and if I turn it to left it goes up so it's not a pump!! Looks to be a German stove,,, I am wrong? Best Regards Magnus
Hello, The stove certainly seems to be German as the phrase on the top of the stove translates spiritus kocher = white spirits digester (denatured alcohol)? Take a look at the way the fluid flows out of the tank on the side into the bowl on the inside. The center hole drains into the tank below. If I understand the description the 'flat brass' lays flat to block the center hole from draining below. Opening the pump looking handle allows the fluid in the top to drain to the bottom chamber where a spigot allows the liquid to drain off. That doesn't seem the route for denatured alcohol to flow. I wonder it is some type of perculator or tea maker. Kind of like a samovar?
Hi CWilkins! Hmm, intressting, I've never thought that the stov maybe can be a samovar or like Steve, an combo water heater and stove..... Can someone please tell me when the stove was produeced? Just guess, that's intressting! I said the early 1900's.... But what about the brand, which company produced this stove? Best Regards Magnus Sweden
Magnus, tell Kjell the stove is worthless but you found someone who will take it off his hands Have to 2nd what HTG said 8) Googled in German, didn't find anything. Couldn't read what was on the brass plate in your picture. If you could take a closer picture or post what it says, maybe the company name is there I want one. While looking for that stove, I came across a remark somewhere that spirt stoves were used to heat irons. Steven
Hi Steven! yeahh you'd like to have Kjell's stove huh? ;D Well, who wants it not!? But maybe someday he'll start thinking "hmm, I think I'll sell this stove to someone who wants it more then I?" Who knows.... 8) 8) On the brass plate it says: D.R.P 46510, DRP stands for D.R Patent. Ohh, nice stove you got there Steven! You say that your stove is unmarked.... I think your stove is a Barthel stove actually because the design says so but I don't really know. Anyway, it's a nice and a pretty stove!! Best Regards from Sweden 8) Magz
I'd sure like to know what the brass thing in the center looks like once it's out of the stove. From the looks of it i am thinking it is something like a samovar too. My best guess is it heats water for one cup of tea and is also used as a stove for heating a pot or pan. Most certainly it is an alcohol stove. These are just my guesses. lance
Not my stove Magnus Was wondering what other purposes those stoves might have had. German, alcohol, D.R.P. : Deutsche Reich Patent, anywhere from 1871 to 1918. Hugo Schneider (Hasag)? Found a catalogue from 1910. The stove isn't there, but interesting all the same, especially the irons in the bottom left hand side: http://www.hytta.de/info/spiriths/index.html Anyone know of German companies that produced stoves before 1918? Steven
Hi Lance! I don't have any picture on the brass plate so I paint an own picture how it looks like.... And yes, I also this that this stove can be some kind of a samovar but how does it work? Regards Magz
