Here are 2 Primus 1020, both from 1935 (Z6). I found these recently on a Dutch auction site. They were covered with lots of dust, and a bit rusty. After disassembling and a good cleaning they cleaned up very nice. The niples and needles are replaced by new ones and new washers in the fuelcaps. The globes on both lanterns are replacements from Raso Therm with a lightning hole.
Congrats on your twins! I'll be watching the mail for my cigars Very well restored and documented, Johan! These are still my all-time favourite lantern.
Great lantern, I have two 1020s. 1935 and 1955. Just finished a battle with the 1935 lantern (NRV). Both lanterns are great and truly one of my favorites. Great job! Well done!
