Hi. My most recent find. It is clearly a HASAG 52 lamp, and shows similarities to another lamp here in the gallerry, dated to the 1930’s. Could that be correct? If so, the lamp can date back to German soldiers in Norway during WWII. The jet is marked 350. The tube below the jet is marked Petromax, so it is obviously replaced. The wheel is missing, I guess it should be a black one? Are other parts also replaced, or can I assume this lamp is original (except the Petromax part mentioned)?
@Håvard Kvernelv Hello. Nice lamp you have there. I'm not sure it's a Hasag 52. If it's a Hasag 52, there are several things on it that don't match, including the holes in the hat. The cap is for a Hasag, but I don't think it's for a 52. The top picture is from your lamp. The bottom one is from another Hasag52.
Hi, Tom For sure, my lamp might be a mix of parts. The cage is marked «52», so I expect that, at least, is frim a 52.
I find another lamp, clearly a 52, with the same top (same hole pattern): Hasag 52 But the collar, filler cap and pump are different. So it also indicates that my lamp has a mix of parts. Will try to fettle it, anyway.
That is definitely a pre-war Hasag, obviously with some parts that were replaced (West Germany glass cylinder from after the war, Petromax vaporizer including jet, Petromax filler cap, and Petromax pump cap & plunger). The special "dot-dot-oblong" hole pattern in the hat is unique to Hasag lanterns and can be found on different lanterns and their parts (hats & collars) and of that pre-war era. But it was not used consistently, and often mixed up with the "all oblong" patterns, like on this lantern. I suppose that the lantern shown here is one of the "second series", when they switched back to the hood construction similar to the 51 / 351 types. According to images from catalogues, the "first series" had a single piece outer hood construction using a cap fixed with two screws on it, which was much more similar to the 300 HK / 500 HK Petromax Lanterns of that time. The "wave" Hasag logo makes me think that it is one of the latest ones. Earlier (and after war made in GDR) versions had the Rhombus logo.
