Here is a very nice stove made in Australia I purchased it from a gentleman that had had it for many years and his whole family had grown up camping with it. He was old enough to have had it from new, I did not ask him. A very nice view from above The burner parts are all original Very pretty And to finish with I think we are now back where we should be. Sorry no flame shot. Maybe tomorrow.
Very nice stove Geoff! @Geoff Chirnside . Any idea about age? (I think early post WW2). Looking forward to the flame shot! Best regards, Wim
Very nice example, Geoff . Congratulations With so many components marked SVEA I would say it is from the early production period in Australia.
@Alcoholic thank you, I have always considered it a bit more special than some of my others because it did not arrive on my doorstep anonymously. I went to the gentlemans house and we talked of many things beside the stove that i was purchasing, probably why I did not establish if he had purchased it new or it had been passed down to him.
Classic, it will probably be forever in the reference gallery understood by only a few. @Wim Thanks, I really like this stove, no idea of age though. Yes there was a particular reason for this post. @Tony Press Yes Tony I felt a need to make the post. I am pleased that it was transfered to the gallery though, rather than being moderated. I see that your post on the original page was moderated. @ROBBO55 , @Robert Bruce , @Frankarooney Thank you for your affirmation that it is indeed a very nice stove. I have many other stoves several of them Aussie made. This stove has all new seals, gaskets and pip. the pump leather is original though. I may leave it unlit for a little more time, maybe I will only light it when all my family are here, keep its tradition alive
