    Unfortunately, I couldn't find any information in the library.
    The good condition of the nickel coatingand and type of font used , leads me to believe that this is a fairly late model.
    The pump handle was missing so I put a spare one on. If it was indeed made of Bakelite, I have one similar to it, which I can suitably shim it to resemble the original. IMG_20241006_140622585.jpg


    Other than replacing the gaskets and a little NRV service, no more needed to be done to get it running.

    My impression was that all the stoves of Swedish manufacture had brass pump knobs and only the British brands used bakelite. Happy to be told I am wrong, provided there is some evidence to substantiate it!

    I have a Svea No.1* . It has a silent burner and a bakelite pump rod knob . It is a strange stove , looks like a late model , not so robust as my other Sveas .

    I didn't look too closely...:oops:
    The last post before mine, there is a similar example ,Svea No.5*, mid-1930s (unfired. in which Ian identifies the dating as the 1930s and points out several similar models (also with Bakelite handles)

    The only thing that I'd highlight is, mid-1930s yes, but not later than 1937 which is when the 'star burst' Sievert logo was superceded by 'King of Stoves' logo branding.

    The stove I have mentioned doesn’t have «The King of Stoves» legend . Mine reads «The Best Stove in the World» . No modesty required ! :content:

    Thanks for the comments guys.

    Thanks. This is a fairly recent acquisition from a flea market. I think it's over 3 liters in capacity.

    Hello.
    Nice coffee kettle you have.
    A Danish coffee kettle has a pouring spout, as on your example
    above the center of the kettle. In the case of a kettle, the pouring spout is almost at the bottom.
    In the old days, the coffee was brewed without a bag or filter, where the ground coffee beans were poured directly into the kettle. Hence the high position of the pouring spout, so that the coffee grounds could settle without getting grounds in the cup.
    Hope you understand my bad English
    Tom

    Hi @Tom Pedersen . Thanks for this information:thumbup:. I had no idea about this way of brewing coffee directly in the kettle. Very interesting.

    That's called "cowboy coffee" over here, and there are several posts about it on CCS if you search for that term.

    Thanks @ArchMc .
    Well, yes. "Cowboy coffee."
    I recall now.:idea:
    The bit about filtering grounds through a mustache amused me greatly.:lol:

    A great find @Knee which has prompted some interesting discussion. Nicely paired with the Scandinavian coffee pot too!
