The German company Gustav Barthel was one of the
largest european stove brands during the beginning of the 20th century.
Manufacturing in Dresden their production covered stoves, blowlamps,
soldering lamps and pressure lamps. Seeing how some of their designs
are practically identical with Primus models it's possible they were
producing those on licence.
GB were also present in the USA as early as in 1908
with an office in Boston, Massachussets. In the same city they ran the
Barthel Blow Lamp Company that - the name nonwithstanding - delivered
the full range of GB products, and they also seem to have delivered
stoves to Globe Gas light Company; how close these companies actually
were is unclear but the stoves had both names. |
