    This is a stove from Primus called "Endura". Primus only produced 10 st of this model and this may be the only one left, who knows?

    Hi Magnus,
    Thanks for posting your pics in the gallery - much appreciated.

    This stove was produced by J.V.Svenson Motorfabrik after the First World War as a last ditched attempt to get his company out of financial trouble.

    Svenson no longer worked with Primus/Hjorth. The stove was only made in small numbers - maybe 10 as you say but was a disaster. It was made of pressed aluminium & leaked badly. Shortly before he died Svenson gave one of the stoves to Hjorth. My guess is that one is the one in the Technical Museum & why the museum are connecting it with Primus.

    Thanks to Stefan Järkeborn for the information.
