unfinished picture of B.A. Hjorth in 1892/1893 based on ads

its hard to solve thats

initially i think We can dated by Bade shields
but No
the same shields with Hjorth was in use later
especially in non popular low production stoves

1915
Primus No 96. Made in 1915. Code "E"

 

That is a no. 8 with the wing nut burner, right? Ought to be from around the 1903 mark. Or, we could look at the first mention of the wing nut burner. Perhaps @Christer Carlsson knows what this is called in Swedish?

 

We know nothing...
first photo is from ended auction from Russia

 

But all 6 of these models do appear listed in a general operating instructions leaflet dated 1900 (here) .

 

Germany patent rights was for Hjorth
in 1892!!!

 

Nansen episode in Hjorth work

In timeline of Primus ads We can find connection with Nansen

For the story subject very important is the date of this ads


14 - 02 - 1896
===============
before from 23 - 01 - 1896
"current" ads was


as We see nothing special "We selling Aetna Vesuvius blowtorches and stove Primus"
in Hjorth work just "CALM SILENT PEACE" - boring time
In press 13 - 02 - 1896 was "exploded" news about Nansen
Sök bland svenska dagstidningar
initial information was telegram
"from Irkutsk vie Petersburg - aroung Kolyma was Nansen"

in 13 - 02 - 1896 that was main information of the day repeated in many newspapers in special editions too

above was in 13 - 02
above provoke Hjorth to action
to the "old-current ads" added "new with Nansen" join to the "telegram Nansen" rush
next day - "We have"



this "act" - was part of information snow ball in the next days

XXX
the next important date was
23 - 03 - 1896
for pre 1911 Primus dating - task - important

 

resume of upper post
- Hjorth needs to exists in newspapers - in active form
- Time to reaction TTR of Hjorth in ads - is 1 day
- to inform about "new stove" - do not need "new graphic" for ads - old type tank is used
vs or AND gives date of numbers on P No 1 and P No 0
-
from the Melbourne 'Argus', 13th March 1896.
Primus '0' 1894-5
- numbered PRIMUSES ARE "ON THE WAY"

Why vs or AND...
This date could be explained by the "delivery time" in Australia , where in Sweden it was it was limited by "time to realise demand"
With respect To All

"numbers" turn collector to fury ...
Above seems to be proof of "any" crisis between inventor, marketer and maker.
It could be named "abandoned or stopped project era"
