Another Rarity?

[Classic Finn]

Ohoh Have to ask, how rare do you think this is? On the cooker it says Optimus No.5 and of course Made in Sweden.

I think we may have found another "piece of candy" The photo is not the best but here it is.

where do you find this stuff??

Optimus stoves are a pain, fill em up then pump 8,000,000 times before they will light!

I have a new British army issue one in the garage still wrapped in pres paper. That`s where its gonna stay

Optimus stoves are a pain, fill em up then pump 8,000,000 times before they will light! I think max is 30 pumps.

The Optimus I have found last lit up with only a few pumps. No problem.
I know the person who has this one and he lit it up without any difficulty.

Where do I find this stuff? Well so far through folks that we know and then the flea market was the last one. And without a huge price.

I look for the ones that I know will light up. This one is a good candidate as well.

Classic as in Classic Finn

PS Why are ya going to keep it wrapped up? It will light up easier without the paper all around it

I would say since the Optimas & Primus are made in Europe they would be pretty common over there. Here in the states the are not as common. Kinda like how common Coleman is here & rare there.

Yes thats quite true. Im trying to find the date on this.
I sure wish they had the dates stamped on these things over here instead of having to guess.

Thats still why I like the coleman.

But cant have everything.
