This is a seldom seen model, a lamp conversion to be used on stoves. Here it is attached to a #100 stove from 1928. The catalogue sheet is from 1934 and I guess they were sold during a short time. The air tube is of the old model with a nut fixing it to the burner. In the catalogue some kind of handle or so is shown unde the plate but this part is missing. The hood is fixed into the mica globe. A kind of adapter is also ther, probably to make it fit on different stoves with other threads. Don't know if it is a original part but it looks so. Maybe not the most beautiful lamp but definitive an odd one. Bo
That is a super find! Just as Nils, I was also wondering if one of those ever would pop up, or we would have to settle with the illustration from the catalogues. I think it would be nice to have it posted under stove paraffinalia at CCS too.
A great find Bo! The link below shows another advert for it, Jeff. http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/872
Nice find Bo. Gratulation. Very funny looking Little lamp. Does it use a wapourizer-tube and burner known from other models? What is the Little thingy under the bottomplate opposite the controlhandle on the drawings? I cant see it because of the angle at your Photos. Is controlhandle and the rest of it all stove? Claus C
Claus, I'm pretty sure it's mainly based on the older 1020 burner. Bo might confirm eventually. I have also been wondering what that little thing you can see under the globe rest on the catalogue images is meant to be. It is unfortunately missing on Bo's lamp attachment, so we can't get any help there.
Yes, that's right. The burner is the same as on the common 1020. What's the use of the small flap underneath is a mystery. It is missing on my lamp and the illustration doesn't show enough. Maybe som kind of holder or handle to make i easier to lift the lamp. Bo
The strange thing is that the 'handle' is not mentioned in any parts list. It doesn't look stronge enough to be used to screw the lamp in place, so probably not a spanner.
On the drawing the "thingy" is highlighted dark as the lampunit compared to the stove, so I asume it follows the lampunit. The drawing shows the lamp with the air-intake for the u-tube oposite the controlhandle. Could it be some sort of ´"airegulator" despite the handle looks funny? Is the mica-globe soldered in the hood? Claus C
Great find it, Bo. i never seen primus 1027 before. Beautiful style !! many thanks sharing forus . Gunsoo
I doubt it is a air regulator. No other Primus using the same burner has that. The mica it fixed to the hood with two small brass rivets, the same as used on the mica fixing the two sides together. Bo
Bo, is it possible for the control wheel/assembly to move with respect to the burner? The drawing does show it with the wheel opposite to the mantle (like a 1020).
Good evening. I have a non-professional guess as to what the purpose of the "thingy" might be. Since it may not always be mounted, could it possibly be a support so that the lamp can stand on its own? I have a 1027 without both top and mica glass but with the thingy and it is unexpectedly stable without being mounted, well balanced. I'll post some pictures of my "project" so you understand how I think
