Camping°gaz butane stove (first portable campingaz gassie?)

Hi lamp,

The logo on the left is simply the name of the stove, "super bleuet". The logo on the right is interesting, because it has the name of the Camping Gaz brand that was changed in the 1960's, when it was officially called "application des gaz" (ADG). First time I see this, but there should be other like this. On their product line, they do mention the name of the product directly on the lower tank, just like the Super Bleuet on the left. But apparently, even if that was the norm, it was not in every case. Maybe some production for foreign countries, with a specific line? They did this, for example, with the "deluxe super bleuet" that was sold in UK, which came with a specific carrying case. You can't find it in France, because it was not sold there. So, maybe, for this type of product made for export, you can have slightly differences like this one.

Bastien.

 

Hi blabast88

It's a very informative advice.

Thank you very much

 

You're welcome. I will soon post something about the 1958 / 1960 product line, and you will see some true examples of what I'm talking about, regarding the product name on the items.

 

Hi blabast88

Very pleased

I am starting to study

Thank you very much

 

Hi blabast88
I want to see the real thing, do you have it?

 

Hi @lamp,

Yes, I do have it but I can't take proper pictures now because I'm not at home the next two weeks. The only picture of it I have is this one:



I will do a post about this model as soon as I can, but maybe not before september... I own several of this kind, they could be different (metal or plastic knobs, with / without windscreens...). And they do exist in two different sizes: for 904 bottles and for the bigger 907 (respectively for 40 and 70 hours of use with a single burner).
