1945 Primus 1080

Hello,

This is my Primus 1080 from 1945, it seems to me that the 1080, is not as common as the 1081.



Seems to be a good runner !

 

Nice lantern! I have a 1081 and have never seen one 1080 in this side of the pond

 

Very nice Frederik. Good to see the nickel on the top part.

My personal guess is that the only reason people bought these types of lamps was to get the quick starter. Without them it wasn't worth the extra expense compared to a 1020.

 

Frederik,

That is a very beautiful 1080. I also have one, but the plating on the ventilator of mine is in poor condition.

The plating on these 980/981 and 1080/1081 are always bad, this one is also bad, even though it looks somewhat ok.

 

Hello Nils, Some plating is still there, but looks better than it is. I agree the 1080 was probably more expensive than the well proven 1020.

 

Hello, the 1081, you see time to time, but the 1080 is not very common here either.
