When collecting these little gems......your looking for the model 71 or 80....that are engraved on the fuel tank. As the stoves got newer.....they engraved less and eventually used decals. The engraved models are so much more beautiful. You have a nice collection. Congratulations

I have many stoves in my collection and I love them all. Most are at my lodge which I don't get to visit often. I never used the can type stove in the field but they are my favorite. I always used the Svea. I did blow the tank on a 123 in 78 and still have that stove. Thanks for showing us yours!

Hermosa colección de joyas!

I get a kick out of the young backpackers and their "light weight " stoves. They hold up the flame tower and tell you how light weight their stove is in grams or oz, they fail to include the weight of the canister. When you include the weight of the canister to the Primus 71 or the Optimus 00 weigh the same. The advantage of the canister is instant start. The disadvantage is you have no idea how much fuel is left in the canister plus they lose heat output as the temperature drops. We have known that since the canister stoves came out in the 1960's what Colin Fletcher pointed that out in his book the Complete Walker first published in the late 1960's. They weigh the same. Plus, kerosine is available worldwide and you always know how much fuel you have left. And no pile of half full canisters sitting at home. In 50 years of use my Optimus 00 (same stove as 71) has had one pump gasket replaced. In less than 5 minutes. My stoves are all in use for 50 years and not part of a collection.

Jamie, these types of stoves have not been in production for many years. The only stove of this type still available is the SVEA 123. There are companies in India that still make the larger Primus type stoves. You might be able to fine the old style stoves in Second Hand stores or yard/estate sales.

The stamp on the bottom of a couple of the tanks is a date code. classiccampstoves.com has a lot of info about these and you can find out about the date codes.

one had an AS which is 1953, another an H which should be 1918 but that isn't correct for this stove since its obviously a new design. The third stove and the Optimus 80 had no markings.

I found a Primus No. 71 stove circa 195, but the original tin case post support is rusted away. By chance, would you know where I can find another tin case for it?

All I can suggest is to check eBay now and then to see if one shows up. I've seen other stove boxes there.

Hi, i have a similar stove without the valve, norwegian made, when i testes it and let the air out to put it out, the gas that came out ignited! Is this common or was i just unlucky?

That sounds like a very old design, one of the originals. I'd hang on to it. I think you were just unlucky. Some of the larger stoves like the Primus 51 had a valve on the filler cap the adjust and extinguish the flame by letting off pressure. For your stove I'd suggest cracking the filler cap very slightly to slowly relieve the pressure so as not to let to much fuel vapor out at one time, maybe blow on it to disperse the vapor. Experiment with it, outside in a non flammable area and have a wet towel handy. Be safe :-)
