Antique Primus # 2 brass camp cook stove made in Sweden.Made in early 1900\'s in Stockholm. T mark on bottom designates 1929Primus stove was the first pressurized-burner kerosene (paraffin)stove.Developed in 1892 by Frans Wilhelm Lindquvist, factory mechanic in StockholmIt was based on the design on the blowtorch. His patent turned the burner upward on the stove instead of outward.
The first model was the #1 stove. So this #2 would also be an earlier model.
The efficient store earned reputation as a reliable and durable stove for every day use as well as in adverse conditions.It was the stove of choice for Nansen\'s North Pole attempt; Amundsen\'s South Pole expedition; Byrd\'s North Pole expeditionand Mallory\'s ill fated expedition to Mount Everest in 1924!!
It does shows distress from age and usage...discoloration, spotting, scratches and possible welding.It is missing the steel top ring which would normally hold a potKindly review pictures. Since this is a #2 it is a wonderful rare collectable
