7 year old thread. It will definitely lose value if fired. Some do not care about the value though and will fire it up anyway. And, this is a 1st version so the date is 1955-1958.
Can you imagine an item like this being sold these days with no operating or safety instructions lol? Different times, times when Darwinian theory operated.
Evening, Guys, As @snwcmpr may remember, my own V1 Sievert SVEA 123 came to me from the original buyers, who purchased the little stove for a float plane adventure in the NorthWest Territories. I have remained in contact with them, since I rebuilt their old Sievert SVEA, and they are thrilled that their old stove is once again doing what it was designed to do!! I love it!! I do have a few photos that they sent me, of their trip, but none show the little SVEA clearly. In any case, as they used it quite a lot, I'm not afraid to use it, myself! For what it's worth.... Also, I have enjoyed that thread that @Dutchmike shared with us, of him "opening up the tomb" of his NIB V1 Sievert SVEA 123!!! WONDERFUL thread, for sure!!! Take care, and God Bless! Every Good Wish, Doc My V1 in action!!
