    A Svecia No. 1 in nickel plated version. It came with original trivet, original cleaning needles and original box.

    It has hardly been fired. It is so shiny, it’s hard to take good photos with interior lightning. It has the beautiful three crowns logo.

    I expect this must be from the more recent production? Perhaps the print on the box can indicate its date?

    I think it reads:
    5.000. 1. 63. TR. A-BOL SVEDIN & CO E-TUNA 2712

    It could mean 5.000 prints of this was made in January 1963?
    By Aktiebolaget (Ltd company) Svedin & Co in Eskilstuna.

    Reasonable guess?

    Independant of the date, this is one of my finer «three-footers».

    What a beauty! Wonderful inscriptions, and the plating is beautifully preserved! The box certainly has a similar 'look and feel' to post-war Primus, Optimus and Svea examples.

    Great find, it represents all what I understand as " classic camp stove ". Moreover- esthetical and technical perfection. Congratulations!
