    Hello,

    My Aida 100 has a number (21) engraved in the center of the backside. Is there a connection with the age of the stove, like the Primus brand?

    Thank you for your answer!

    No one has claimed that Aida stoves were date-coded.
    Best Regards,

    1921 would be much too early a date for that model of stove, by about 35 years. In his post on his Aida 100:

    Evening all!

    I've got to agree with all the posters above - I don't think Aida stoves have any sort of date. My particular specimen was pretty much 'new in box' with a "40" on the bottom and paperwork from 1959.

    thanks,
    ben

    They do have a date, but there’s no way to find out what it is.
