    Hello. Just got this Radius No.21. The paper says that it was tested on March 3, 1927. I do not know if the stove is that old.
    Here are some pictures.

    Mange tak @Tom Pedersen det er vidunderligt ! Congrats!
    At your convenience might you please add 2 pics:
    a 2nd attempt at front side of 1927 instructions (will be great to see!) and,
    a closer image of filler cap / vent screw (a view from other side of tank). DONE, wow. Thank you.
    Any addl. detailed pics showing tank markings can be a challenge and would exceed expectations.

    FYI to all,
    the dated :thumbup::thumbup: back side of instructions shows us No. 9082 pricker tool. Tom's last pic shows us No. 9084a replacement (No.21) cleaning needles for the 9082 pricker tool (hopefully 9082 is in the tin).

    I have zero doubt this stove and tin are as original from 1927, it should be another match to the 1925 catalog illustration.

    ================

    UPDATE re my " a closer image of filler cap / vent screw (a view from other side of tank). DONE"
    As I typed my comment Tom has just posted exactly what i suggested (before my request ... uh, huh)

    Just wow. Thank you Tom. On behalf of membership and for myself: that is very much appreciated.
    A dated complete, early No.21. awesome! This is a banner day for Radius 21 fans!

    I'll follow-up with some **other things (if no one else picks up on them), for now:
    this best example dated 1927 stove is a match to Stejar's type 1, 1.0 (needs a double check),
    in-use is the c. 1925 tin, both being a match to 1925 catalog.
    If it holds, this one being a 1927 Type 1.0.

    **Note 1: (rare) tin, stove type(s), parts and 1920 catalog that all predate Stejar's type 1.0 - 6.0.
    Note 2: in 2012 Stejar was aware of more examples than his type 1-6 (BTW 0.0, 0.5 comes before 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 etc. SO, examples can be added while still referring to his excellent work, 1.0 - 6.0).
