Primus 1895

@Blackdog thanks! I understand your point, I would have loved to maintain a better patina, but there was also some corrosion to take care of (I anyway didn’t mirror polish the stove as can be seen).

For the old repairs I am a little less sad, because they were really taking away the beauty of this old stove.

I am pretty sure it will last another 130 years, a new patina will form and my repair will be part of its history as the preceding ones

Absolutely! The finished result looks wonderful and it will now have a long and safe future. All part of the story, as you say.
