    Hi everyone,
    Here we have one Petromax 828 made in July 1939 (could also be 1940 since the scratch is kind of bad)

    Anyways a very nice and used but not abused lantern !

    Nice!

    Was the blue like that before fettling, or did you enhance the colour?

    It looks greenish-blue to me.
    It does look pretty.
    Seems like you've hauled in some old Petromaxes in fine condition lately.
