Nipper or Premier range cooker

[No.41]

The Nipper No.6 was the standard fitting for Eddison living vans in their later years, and they were certainly available until the early 1970's. The Premier stove was a clone manufactured for the narrow boat market, and were available new until recently, so you might want to try the canal world.

These small stoves would deteriorate quickly if not regularly used, since sulphuric acid in the combustion products produces corrosion between the cast components, the resulting rust causing the cast iron to crack.

I rescued a ec Salop County Council Bomford and Evershed living van out of a wood about 2 or 3 years ago. It was a late one on blow ups. But the makers plate was made out of Mazak.

There was no stove in it, but when I asked I was taken to the estate stores where the stove had been removed to.

It was a Nipper, in excellent condition, but in a very fetching shade of shitty yellow enamel.
