The
German
company
Gustav
Barthel
was
one
of
the
largest
european
stove
brands
during
the
beginning
of
the
20th
century.
Manufacturing
in
Dresden
their
production
covered
stoves,
blowlamps,
soldering
lamps
and
pressure
lamps.
Seeing
how
some
of
their
designs
are
practically
identical
with
Primus
models
it's
possible
they
were
producing
those
on
licence.
GB
were
also
present
in
the
USA
as
early
as
in
1908
with
an
office
in
Boston,
Massachussets.
In
the
same
city
they
ran
the
Barthel
Blow
Lamp
Company
that
-
the
name
nonwithstanding
-
delivered
the
full
range
of
GB
products,
and
they
also
seem
to
have
delivered
stoves
to
Globe
Gas
light
Company;
how
close
these
companies
actually
were
is
unclear
but
the
stoves
had
both
names.
The
quality
of
Gustav
Barthel
products
were
generally
very
good,
and
working
samples
can
still
be
unearthed
from
the
occasional
market
or
garage
sale.
The
current
status
of
the
Gustav
Barthel
company
is
unclear.
The
latest
Juwel

leaflet
encountered
was
from
1982;
the
stove
was
a

and
had
the
GB
logo
but
the
name
VEB
Lötgeräte
Dresden
as
