That stove looks far more better than my Primus 96. Is the text on the side in kyrillish/russian? Where did you also find this one?
i about fell out of my chair when i saw that--what a wonderful find and in such great shape. tell us more about that extra label on the side. is it stamped into the tank or soldered on?
Dave, extra plate was soldered very accurate. Sign on plate - in Russian to english - Joint-stock company - B.A. Hjorth & Co - Stockholm
Kristian i found them on local site where people sell frequently stuff. I have 2 week of messaging with seller - after message with foto Code E and extra plate i be ready to buy it for any money - but he ask only for 20$ and i must pay postage tax =) Sign on plate Cyrillic - mean in russian to english - Joint-stock company - B.A. Hjorth & Co - Stockholm
That is a spectacular 96! An excellent find for sure! If you ever think of getting rid of it, I’ll double the offer! Also, will you or have you fired it up yet? I’d love to see some flame shots from this old beauty.
Gorgeous old girl, love the pre-Great War versions. Does the plaque infer it was made under contract for Primus by a Russian manufacturer (or made in Sweden specifically for Russian distribution)?
