    I’ve been a bit quiet on CPL for the last five weeks as I’ve been on a long road trip around southern Australia catching up with relatives and close friends I’ve not seen since the Covid pandemic hit. A few thousand kilometres, 3 States, one Territory, and two ferry crossings of Bass Strait.

    I picked up the last box of things of Bob Bauer RIP (@Lamp_Doctor) that I’d not had the chance to bring home for a couple of years. Here are three highlights:

    Thanks, @Anthony and @Lamp_Doctor.

    Cheers

    Well worth the trip Tony. I’m guessing that the lamp front right is a Hasag?

    @Jean J

    The three lamps left to right are Nulite, Petromax, and Wizard (Australian).

    Cheers

    Congrats for the Px 822 Baby pre war lamp.
    That's a rare bird and hopefully will be shining
    again.:thumbup:

    It has “5 4” scratched on the base.

    @Tony Press That's a fast reanimation of this old
    lady of 1934, and she's working well.
    Thanks a lot for showing.:thumbup:

    Hello, yesterday I received this glass for a petromax kerosene lamp with dimensions of 100x74 mm and I would like to know which type it belongs to. Would you be willing to check if the dimensions match your Petromax in the photo? Thank you very much! 33EF93B3-D126-485D-A7CE-CB40CED4EB73.jpeg D689FAD3-BA98-4AF4-B2B8-0FD2FC8553F2.jpeg

    Dimensions of globes can be found here: PETROMAX NUMBERS
    Looking at the glass mark, you have an old globe there. Guessing 100/150Hk or 200/250Hk?

    Woops! I note a typo in my post above:

    The dimensions of the glass are 89mm diameter and 106mm high.
