Unfortunately I can't help with the Schott logo timeline, but I'm sure someone on here can. As the model started in 1954, I would have expected it...
There is basically only one option in Denmark, but it is ideal for lamps or stoves. It is at least 93% ethanol and clear. It is called...

To the best of my knowledge, the Swiss army never used this shade and I am fairly certain that they did not use the Optimus 930. It would have...
Back when the forum was started, it was decided to put all Gloria product under the US Gloria forum, even if it was made in Australia. It can be...
Welcome to the forum and they are some nice lamps. They would go well in the reference gallery with lots of detail photos. :)
The only part of the stamp on the bottom of Primus lamps that relates to the date is the letters. There is no conclusive proof of what the number...

By the look of the photo you would think it was mid winter. Not what I'm used to seeing in Australia around Christmas time. :) All the best and...
It's good to know it has good results. HN have two different brands of kerosene. They have KaminX for 348 DKK for 20l or Heatmax Gold for 148 DKK...

That is an interesting find. Looking forward to what suggestions turn up. It is not a 'normal' stove tank as there is no pump on the side and the...
My guess is that someone has made a wick lamp out of the stove tank. The tank, filler and pump look very much like the standard 3 leg stove...
Good to see one of the older high collar versions. Nice find.
That's a nice find, even considering the condition. There aren't many of them around.
It is for petrol/gasoline. In general, all Primus blowtorches that start with an 8 in the model number are for petrol (there are always exceptions).
I got hold of some old lead sheeting used in roofing from the scrap metal dealer. Then punch out new washers with the right size wad punch....
Sounds like a simple solution. :thumbup: How does the wick stand up to the heat over extended periods of time? I expect it would get a bit charred.
If you don't make your own lead washers, then I can understand your reluctance to pull it apart. From what I can see, it looks alright. The...
Is Tasmania planning to secede? :)
