I was lucky to find one of these very nice old stoves. When I bought it, the tin was painted with «silver» color. There was no indication that the beautiful, purple decor was hidden underneath. After careful use of paint stripper, I was able to find some of it’s former glory. Very happy with that! The stove has a Primus burner, which I guess is a later replacement. It does need a proper cleaning inside. Did Emperor have burners with their own brand? Except for the burner, I think the other parts are original. Håvard
