HØvik 41
Høvik Verk Standard 41IN . Manufactured from around 1901. Made in Norway
|
The company Høvik Verk, placed at
Høvik in the county Bærum near Oslo, was started in 1855
at Høvik Beach. The builder and first owner was the Englishman
Thomas Graham. By 1880, the ownership had been transferred to a Norwegian,
Harald Berg. The main products were glass, lamps and other types of
household equipment, but also camping stoves.
Høvik Verk manufactured the 210 on license
for Primus, and was their only export model. Most other Høvik
Verk models were either marked 'Standard' or had only a number. The
company was officially disbanded around 1980, but the company areas
and remaining buildings were sold to Det Norske Veritas already in 1972.
