This is the heavy quality G21 stove by Gustav Barthel as shown below in their 1934 catalog (pink), which states that these are made of cast iron (Gußeisengestell). This specific one was made in a small batch for a Dutch Company. Instead of the NORMA embossment on the burner and the logo plate below the tank, this one has the Dutch company name and logo casted into the base, no name on the burner. Probably sold on the Dutch market before the second world war or just after the war to hide the fact that it was actually a German product (even though they forgot to remove the casted “Germany” mark from the bottom. Germans and German products were not very popular in The Netherlands back then after the First World War. It is in very good condition, all parts are moving okay and it has been tested and works fine. There is one dent in the brass tank for as far as I can see. The black cast iron has no cracks or parts missing, no rust either since everything is a beautiful matted black. Sold as a display piece since I am sure only very few of these are left. Measures 37,5 cm or 15 inches from knob to tank.
As found in a advertisement in this 1935 newspaper from Haarlem:
