Hi, here is the other Swedish stove I have been working on this weekend; This is a 1936 (AA) Primus 210. This is a one-pint stove, fuelled with paraffin. It is one of my all-time favourites and the design has certainly stood the test of time. Here is the box, with some very attractive graphics: Here is the stove itself: The engraving on the tanks of these early stoves is really beautiful: I renewed all the seals and washers and fired up this seventy-one year old stove. It easily passed my "Tea Test". Best Regards, Kerophile.

Hi Nick, thanks for your kind comments. Boy, you had me worried there for a moment. I had not realised we were on the other side of the Date Line, here in the Far North. Please check your calendar! I loved the photos of the two stoves you posted yesterday. Pity about that horrid, gaudy plastic knob on the Geniol 36. What size is it, so I can take a look in my spares box? Best Regards, George.
Some day i shall be so lucky that the stoves i have in a "box" won't be a Coleman suitcase. Gads that's a beauty. I wannna, i wannna, mommmma i wannna. Please mommmmy can i have one? lance
Could do with one of those. Getting to like these 1 pinters. Way to nice for someone like me to own. be all balckend and dirty after awhile. Barra
That's a very nice stove George, very nice I'm still not a fan of that style of windbreak though, I've always thought that they look untidy, and are very prone to dropping off ! Regards
Hi Keith, perhaps it is not the correct windbreak for this particular stove. Although it is the one shown ( Part No 1600), for the 210 and 96 stoves in the 1957 BA Hjorth & Co Catalogue. I notice however that they have it sitting on the top of the tank, rather than balanced precariously on the gallery of the burner, as I have ! Maybe a fold-flat type would be more appropriate. You are limited to folding or collapsible types of windbreak with this size of tin. As it is I need to use vaseline to slide all the pieces in! Does anyone know which type of windbreak the 1936 Primus No. 210 would have used? Regards, Kerophile
Hello, Kerophile, and All, I have a Primus 210, date-marked "W" for 1932, which came without a burner, and for which Ross kindly sent me the proper article. But, the stove tank came with it's tin, pot supports, windscreen, spirit can, wrench, prickers, and several original mini-catalog folding pages, including a hard paper "hang up" set of instructions. The windscreen is exactly like yours. The instructions, which have some date codes at the bottom, which I cannot understand, show the "draught shield No. 1601", which is similar to, but not exactly like the one that came in the tin. Though I don't have time to do it right now, I'll take and post photos of the stove, it's goodies, and all the paperwork that came with it. If anyone knows how to decipher the date codes, here's what's printed at the bottom of the "hang up" instructions: 50,000 11. 30. -1287 Maybe November, 1930?? Given the date of the stove, that seems a reasonable guess, but that's all it is. The paperwork is interesting, and I'll send it along as soon as possible. Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc Mark P.S. Does your Primus tin have a nice shot of a double-burner Primus on the back outside of it? Mine has that, and "Primus" on both sides. From the manner of dress of the ladies shown in the drawings in the paperwork, I'd say that the paperwork was from the late 1920's, or so.
Hi Doc, I think my tin is more plain than your one. I had the images on file so here they are, all bar the base: Top; Side 1: Front; Side2: Rear: Regards, Kerophile
Hi, I went back and checked whether the No.1600 windshield would sit directly on top of this 1936 Primus 210 tank, as shown in the 1957 Primus catalogue. It does, as can be seen from these photos: Regards, Kerophile.
Hi, Here are a couple of photos of the lettering on the burner-top of this stove: Regards, Kerophile.
