    Hi here are some photos of a Svea 26 I received yesterday. I replaced all the washers and seals and the stove successfully passed the "Tea Test", where I boil a kettle of water to make a Brew.

    The Svea 26 is a 4.5 pint stove, yet designed to be collapsible, with removable legs and burner assembly. The reserve cap is parked on top of the filler cap when not in use.

    This particular model has been chromium- plated.

    The stove operates well, as you can see.

    I cannot find any reference to either the Svea 26, nor Svea 36, in any catalogues so any information would be appreciated.

    Regards,
    Kerophile.

    Handsome stove, I think.

    Best Regards,

    Are you sure it's chromed and not nickled?

    Whichever, it is a very pretty stove.

    Hello Kerophile.
    It is a handsome stove indeed.
    I purchased what I thought was a Radius Nr.33 a little while ago that looks a lot like your SVEA Nr.26.
    Your post reminded me that I must take some photos of it to see if someone could identify the maker. Cheers, John

    It looks like new!
    I have 2 Svea's I think a 26 and 36 and they are nickeled.
    Must say yours is a real beauty. I'm jealous!
