Petromax 828 FANAL

Petromax Rapid 828/300 HK
Manufactured in Germany in June 1939,sold by FANAL in Buenos Aires/Argentina.Somehow the lamp ended up in France and was discovered and bought by me at an auction.
The globe (Aeroplane) is certainly a replacement from the Far East ,but I left it in.Missing parts were the mixing tube screw,mixing chamber,Clay Burner,Jet and cleaning needle.

 

It's in fine condition.

 

Nice find !

 

Excellent addition Reinhard

 

The lantern has certainly done some traveling. Nice work getting it cleaned up and working.

 

Was für eine aussergewöhnliche und sehr schöne, Licht bringendes Kleinod, mit globalen Erfahrungshintergrund.
Chapeau!

 

Very nice and interesting lantern!
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Tony that was testing my limitations of German

 

Looks good.
Is the washer on top of the enamel original or an addition

 

@Andrew T
This is original.I've seen this happen several times on 1939-1941Petromax lanterns.

 

Thank you.

 

Hi ReinHard,

Very nice Petromax lamp, nice restoration.
All my congratulations.

Today is big day for my Petromax 828 FANAL Argentina.
My friend Wilhelm was able to repair the original Rapid and it works perfectly. Thanks @Willy .
I also received an original , unused reflector #2014 from Olaf Rosen (Petroleumshop) that was intended for the Argentinian dealer FANAL in Buenos Aires. Thank you Olaf Rosen.
What a beautiful day for my pressure lamp collection.

 

Very nice completion of the lantern.
Unique Petromax.

 

Oh wow ! A great day indeed !

 

@Reinhard, friend and mentor, it was a great pleasure to give back a little of what I have already received from you, especially in terms of knowledge about Classicpressurelamps.
I have to thank you!
What an extraordinary and beautiful lamp!

 

Certainly it's a wonderful addition to your collection, congratulations
