@Seansmithwfd You're welcome. This forum seems to be more for British and American lamps and lanterns, so the other guys (like me) may take a...
I think it's more "5 4 1", so it would perfectly match the above post from Reinhard who dated the lanterns to 1940/41 and the printers mark on the...
You might have to remanufacture the missing pieces: A sliding piece into which the eccentric on the handwheel shaft engages, a thin brass rod with...
He has modified the 883 to use 3 mantles. Surely a fine piece of craftsmanship, but maybe a sacrilege for some of us collectors of original items...
...now I found a picture in my files that proves me right with 22SP: [ATTACH]
From a brief look at the documents I've found the following: 1927/1931/1932: No. 21 (lantern) and No. 25 (table lamp) burn paraffin, kerosene, and...
A fitting glass cylinder will be hard to find, since it's the same size like for Ditmar 300 CP lanterns (501 / 506 and the like). Maybe you could...
The alcohol version would be 22SP, and the 22 is for kerosene / paraffin or gasoline / petrol. Very handy lanterns, and almost impossible to find,...
Currently it's no problem to find inner chimneys and mixing tubes etc. for the "big" 350/500 CP Petromax types, even for a reasonable price....
That's a good idea and I have done this successfully already 4 times. A few times I also had to cut the thread of the mixing tube a little further...
Please note that the 583 was the gasoline / petrol version of that lantern, and early versions had a much thinner vaporizer and thus the inner...
Definitely the shade belongs to the lantern, but not the brass dishes beneath it. Here are a few pictures of my Maximette 581 from 01/41 in a...
The thread of the vent screw is crimped together in the upper part to prevent the loss of the screw. You can remove it by just turning it further,...
Let's see if someone can tell me if it's smoke or paint. I'm going to try with the Dremel. I've tried everything: paint remover, vinegar, salt and...
The left jet and needle are from a pre-war Aida lantern, e. g. type 214. I cannot imagine why/how they were fitted to the Butterfly. The thread on...
This depends on what your collecting focus would be (in the future). The Continental is a seriously rare lantern, and most collectors would see it...
Great restoration and video @Camp numao ! Enjoyed much to watch and I greatly appreciate the work you have put into this project. I don't have...
DeepL has a slightly different translation for the post of @Italo : "Hi Leonardo, I just bought a sun flame, a 103, I had a bit of luck, when it...
My 247 from 2/1948 made in Canada has also stamped "Scout" on the collar above the English text. It is also clearly marked "No. 247 for Kerosene...
These dimples are also seen on my 247 made in Canada from 1948.
