Not exactly a new stove as the company went out of business in 1934, but I got my hands on it this summer.
The stove runs on kerosene and mustbe pre-heated with alcohol to work.
Same as the Optimus 111 Hiker and other stoves.
It had been a while since it was last used, and I had to set the pump piston in some oil overnight since the gasket had dried up. The stove had previously been repaired but this repair seemed to do the trick. No fuel leaks when pumping air in the fuel tank.
The stove takes 1 liter of fuel, and as you can see it lacks a wheel for flame adjustment. Instead it has a little screw to let out pressure from the fueltank, this works good enough.
The testfire was a success. After 4 minutes of pre-heating I pumped pressure in the fuel tank and it started burning with a nice blue flame.
I tried it in my lavvu (A Venor Standard, 4-6 men size, made in Kautokeino) and after 15 minutes it was 18 degrees Celsius half a meter from the "floor". The outside temperature was -0,3 degrees Celsius. I had the "top hat" on the lavvu.
This is definately my new tent stove.
I also have a smaller version of this stove. More of a camping version. It can be dismanteled and the parts put in a small tin box.
I found it in the mountains under some rocks when I was a kid. The effect of the new one is however much greater.
