The riddle solution

Hello dear readers,

Some time ago a childhood friend of mine asked me if I'll be able to create a miniature Primus cooking stove.

I am not sure how many of you got to see a Primus at work. It's a noisy apparatus, the larger its head,  the bigger the noise.   It was in use here in Israel before the 40s of the last century. Those were the days when electricity did not reach all parts of the country.  The nomade tribes here, still use it, as it operates on kerosene and makes no soot.  Here is a reference (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primus_stove).



Given this challenge, I decided to try and make one for my antiquities stall. 


All the material that I need, I found at home.   (Buttons, fimo, jewelry findings, large paper clips, etc.)

These are my prototypes.  The paper clips are not pliable enough.  I need to find some aluminum wire which can be bent easily to the shape I want for the legs.








No wonder no one was able to guess the answer. 

I'll be back, later on,  as soon as I make a list of participants and use the random number generator to make the draw.  Please stay tuned.

Until then....
