Primus 51 1932

Primus 51 with a burner marked UR.
In its galvanised case / windshield.
Fired up ok after a new set of gaskets but was heavily coked up hence the unusual polish up from me. Lots of small usage dents etc but it’s a nice stove steady and so far reliable.

 

Hi @nmp Very smart stove and storage/shelter box. Have a look through this thread on similar enclosures:

Biscuit Tin Adaptations

You mention the date coding on the burner. Does the coding on the stove tank match?

hi @kerophile
Thanks for the link etc date code on burner is UR what date that is I am not sure? is it U ? or R?

 

@nmp


Do you have a photo of the date code?

Hi nmp, I don’t know. i would be tempted to take the U (1930) if the tank has W for 1932. Sometimes the tank and burner share the same manufacturing date, or within a year or so.
