This is a Primus No. 4122 pricker for Primus No.96 and 97 stoves. There were two prickers without needles, so I refurbished one with some 0.19mm guitar string. Cheers Tony
Hi @Robert Bruce I reckon the kink in the handle is to help you pick an otherwise flat object up from a work bench or flat surface. Best Regards, Kerophile.
Well @kerophile that sounds like a answer I will run with. They are a pain to pick up if you put them down with the writing the correct way up, the other way up all's good. Cheers Rob
The prickers with Hurlock stoves have a bend like that. I thought it was so they could be crammed into the spares tin. The tension does keep them from falling out. ....Arch
