Primus No. 97L - 1935

A Primus No.97, date coded 'Z2' for 1935. Nickel plated stove with folding legs. She's almost complete; only missing her instructions leaflet.(her 2 prickers and the envelope were accidentally left out in the picture).

The tank is in good condition, 1 small dent on the rim of the tank. The set comes with spanner, 2 prickers, spirit can, windshield, 3 legs.
As always, I have given the tin a coat of wax for preservation purposes.



Tin in sound condition. The graphics are still very clear and bright.


Her front clasp with handle:


Inside of the tin, with minimal rust. Cleaned with 0000 wool and soap.


Spirit can. No. 1738


Legs removed.


The stampings are also clear and bright. Cleaned her up with a rag and soap, nothing else.


Side-stampings in 5 languages. No Japanese and Arabic stampings on the other side. This was removed in approx. 1932. (more info is needed as to when exactly).


Stove with and without the windshield deployed.


Burner plate + tank.


Thanks for reading,
