Note I mentioned that what I have is not an Optimus 8R but a old unused Russian copy painted grey, In the photo below is the original box with the cyrillic name of the stove, I guess. Here is a photo of the Phoebus and a few others.Connie-"The Old Fhart, I had never seen a Phoebus until now. Do you have a picture of it opened up? ....When I got the Optimus 8R stove, it was called "the Blue Box"......"
On the left is the Svea123 with pump and 3-cup stainless steel cup that serves as a pot and carrying case for the stove. Behind it is a Coleman M-1950 military multi-fuel stove. Middle front is a Gerry butane stove that unscrews and reassembles for packing to be about 1" thick. Behind that is the Phoebus on top of its carrying tin. On the right is the boxed Russian copy of the 8R and behind that is a Primus No. 71. That's enough stove photos for a while.
You never turned around to see the frowns
On the jugglers and the clowns
When they all did tricks for you.

I love alcohol stoves because I enjoy seeing people without eyebrows.
