Like the M&M's Christmas commercials, it does exist

Located a Primus 96, date code of AG = 1942. Whoop! Whoop! Primus production was very low during WW II, but I don't think we know numbers for different models, only silent or roarer models. Hope to post pics when received. This was one year where it was thought this model was not made.

Same one I listed: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/96.50669/

 

Another example of a seller not knowing what they had.
Imagine what the price would have been if they had known.

 

It was a good deal. I was hoping someone from here would get it.

 

@hikerduane

Wasn't there 2 you were looking for, now one? f so, what year are you looking for? I have about 25 different bookmarks I look at for camp stoves. Perhaps I'll come across it.

 

@The Warrior, I need a "B","H", "AF". We thought some of the war years they weren't made, but the '42 defies that. I thought I had a "B", but it is over stamped with a "C". I have a clearly stamped "C". I have a "B" in a 00 or 210, can't remember, or even a 45.

Got it. I'll keep an eye out.

 

I had only added one year to my collection and that was a year ago. Hard to come by.

I'll bet. How many 96's do you own?

 

Over 60. A few duplicates and some in both brass and nickel.
Duane

 

Wow, nice.

 

Congrats, Duane! I know you’ve been looking for that one for awhile.

Thank you. Thought I had it down to a couple, hope for a '41.
Duane

 

Hope it's okay, I snapped a photo from the ad. What a beauty, love the looks of it, congrats @hikerduane for a cool purchase.

 

Thank you. If I just wanted differing features, could have only accumulated half a dozen or so.
Duane

 

Whoop! Whoop! Real deal.
Duane

 

Woohoo!

 

Are you going to light it?

 

Yes. Cleaned parts in vinegar last night, replaced cap washer and added new pump cup, no lead washer present in top of fount. Snowing heavily now, so will finish up today sometime. Internet was down for an hour due to the wet, heavy snow. New heater stuck on back of dish to melt snow this year.
