Hello Today i received a new stove. It`s NOS and an interesting kit. It`s weight is 1100g. There is something on the burner head where you can regulate the amount of air. I don`t know what it is good for. Any ideas? But action speaks louder than words. Here are the pics: Nice weekend: Endy
May your A$$ itch and your amrs be to short. Nah mate im good on this and so envious that i can't state it. Good on you mate! That outfit is a collectors wet dream, and may it give you much pleasure. Way to good to spoil with a fire up.
Congratulations on the lovely find. Hard to find such good stuff nowadays so you are one of the lucky ones
Looks like a Sigg Tourist, or so near as makes no difference. I was lucky enough to trade one off Bajabum, and I aint parting with it! Arguably the best burner in the best cook set, score! Light it up! Light it up! It's entire reason for being is to effortlessly cook outdoors in the same way a V12 Ferrari's is to go WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!! up a winding road.......use it, love it, feel superior to the low brows who cook on a Tesco's gassie....
Morning, Endy, WOW!! What a wonderful find!! Congrats on securing something that VERY FEW others will ever find in the flesh!!! Your stove and cookset are exceedingly rare, my Friend, and if they were mine, they would NEVER see fire, PERIOD!! There are plenty of Sigg Tourist cooksets, and regular SVEA123 and Primus 71/Optimus 80 stoves out there, for you to use until your heart's content. BUT, I will wager a fairly large sum that you will very probably NEVER find another set you have now own, in the same condition!! Please consider keeping it a virgin, so that it will retain that special place in stove-dom that it now enjoys!! Light it, even once, and it's just another stove and cookset combination. Keep it mint, and you have something that is worth a great deal, both in money, and also in historical value, IMHO!! Again congrats, and many thanks for sharing your wonderful find with us!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc
Are you a stove broker, or a stovie. Do what you need to do. I'd light it. Just like I've lit every stove(not still boxed) I own. They're meant to be used and enjoyed. They are beautiful, but they're not sculptures. Doc angel, me devil.....Sitting on your shoulder. The way I get the most joy out of a stove is using it, not looking at it. To me as criminal as taking a cheetah and confining it in a 10 X 10 cage. Sure, you can look at it, but you can't see it do what it does best. A shame really. I hate zoos for this reason, BTW. If you plan to flip it though, of course, Doc's right. It IS a rare beauty regardless. Mike
Hey, Mike, You make a great point, and one with which I agree, to a degree. 8) BUT, it's always nice to have a few very special stoves, or at least it is to me. So, when I get a mint stove with all the goodies, and I already have enough similar ones to actually use, I keep those special stoves unfired and just for "enjoying visually"! I can't tell you how much more people enjoy seeing such things, than to see just user stoves, when you are displaying such things at a Stove Gathering! A user stove is a wonderful thing, and I have hundreds of them! But, a special, unfired, and very rare stove is quite another thing, indeed!! Speaking only for myself, I take GREAT pleasure in just looking at the very special stoves in my collection, and others do, too!! I also take great pleasure in using stove, which I never seem to tire of doing! So, at least for me, it's "double your pleasure, double your fun", keep two kinds of stoves, instead of just one!!! 8) 8) But, that's just my way of looking at it, and the way I do it. Others fire up everything that comes their way, and if that's what trips their trigger, I say, Hey, go for it!! As an aside, one day, I WILL sell off most of my stoves, just as most of us will someday do. It's nice to know that, when that time comes, a few of my stoves just may reap some very nice financial rewards on their way to a new and very admiring home!! In this day and age, that's most certainly something to consider! Take care, Mike, and as always, God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc (who's back to work this morning!)
