ANTIQUE PRIMUS CAST IRON STAND!

ANTIQUE PRIMUS CAST IRON STAND !

NO. 1100 - BRASS PLATED

MADE IN SWEDEN

CONDITION:

THIS IS AN EXCELLENT EXAMPLE OF AN ORNATE CAST IRON PRIMUS COOKING STAND! IN VERY GOOD CONDITION AND BRASS PLATED. PLATING IS STILL GOOD, WITH FLAKING IN ONE OR TWO SPOTS ONLY. 100% COMPLETE AND INTACT.

THE WAY IT WAS USED:

A PRIMUS WOULD BE PLACED UNDER THE OPENING BENEATH THE CENTER PLATE. THE CENTER PLATE COULD THEN BE USED FOR COOKING WHILE THE TWO OUTER PLATES WERE HEATED. ONCE THE OUTER PLATES WERE WARM ENOUGH, THEY COULD ALSO BE USED FOR COOKING OR FOR KEEPING FOOD WARM. BEING CAST IRON, THE TOP HEATED QUICKLY AND RETAINED ITS HEAT WELL.

WHAT IT IS USED FOR TODAY:

BEING A SOUGHT AFTER COLLECTOR'S ITEM, IT IS OFTEN USED AS A PROUD DISPLAY PIECE AND BLENDS IN WELL WITH OTHER ANTIQUES. ALTERNATIVELY IT CAN BE USED AS A SMALL SIDE TABLE OR A POTPLANT STAND! THE BEAUTIFUL GOLDEN COLOUR TENDS TO MAKE IT AN ATTENTION GRABBER, SO USE IT AS A FOCAL POINT OR TO DRAW ATTENTION TO SOMETHING NEARBY. LOOKS GREAT ON THE COUNTERTOP OF A KITCHEN DECORATED WITH OTHER ANTIQUE PIECES. AND OF COURSE YOU CAN ALWAYS USE IT! PLACE A PRIMUS UNDERNEATH AND THINK BACK TO THE GOOD OLD DAYS!

SIZES:

HEIGHT - 23CM / LENGTH - 67cm / WIDTH - 24cm / WEIGHT - ABOUT 10kg

PLATES WERE MADE TO BE REMOVABLE FOR EASY CLEANING.

THE FLAP IN THE BOTTOM PICTURE LIFTS UP AND THE PRIMUS THEN SLIDES INTO A SLOT SO THAT IT CAN NOT FALL OVER OR ACCIDENTALY BE MOVED FROM THE CENTER OF THE PLATE.
