Case Study:

Primus 54


All the pics on this page were graciously donated by Ken Weida.

 

This Primus is well worth a second glance. Not only is the oldtimer more or complete; it has a brass pan support of a design seldom seen. Note the drawing of a stove in the logo. The stove is possibly from 1939, although it cannot be confirmed yet.

On this specific sample the top of the silent burner has been secured by one owner with a small metal wire as seen below.

 

The 54 is definitely produced in Stockholm.

 

This instructive piece of paper is possibly even more valuable to a collector than the stove itself.

 

 

The bottle can some times be found for sale - but the wire brush would probably be a very luck find.

 

This box could actually be the original one, although that is unconfirmed. The instruction papers above seem to have been sticking on the underside of the lid.
