My guess would be that this little tube is a preheater like in these Standard 2045 lanterns. It works with the saturated fuel/air fumes in the...
To my knowlwdge this will be done by @Tony Press and @DarcyDV. For my part, I think it's great that the CPL is being kept alive by these two and...
To my knowledge it is more the plating process which gives the matt finish (current density and additives). These matt lanterns can even be...
Normally, the tube should be screwed into the connection body, and the filter at the lower end can also be unscrewed. I have never seen that the...
Sounds like the jet orifice gets partially blocked once in operation, and that the lantern was not properly preheated. That happens if there are...
Very sad to see this. I thought of you and your place as I heard about the fire (I sent you a Petromax 2827 a couple of years ago). Hopefully you...
@Pancholoco1911 No info on the needle thread size unfortunately. All what I can say that this table lamp with the metal stem appears in the 1929...
This is the belonging patent of Ehrich & Graetz from 1931 on Espacenet, I've also attached it as PDF. It may well be that it is from 1933. In any...
A Ditmar 200 or 300 HK nozzle that I had in my spares box fitted my Wiktorin 8800. I even had a Ditmar burner for rigid mantles and a mantle ring...
This is really very sad news. My thoughts are with him and, above all, I wish his family a lot of hope at this sad time. I'll light a lantern for him.
Hello @Reinhard , the 71 / 71A or 71L are the 500 HK types, whereas the 51 / 51A or 51L are rated 300 HK. I own a 71A, which has no difference to...
Here's a catalogue picture from 1936 showing the models 51L and 71L: [ATTACH] The picture does not match 100% with the example presented here by...
I would agree to that. The oldest one I have is 03 2 (February 1932). It has no lid, a slotted screw, convex pump knob, and a smaller but thicker...
Hello @Reinhard, congratulations to your new little lantern. I have never seen a 581 with a zinc plated steel tank and that batch attached to the...
Hello @Camp numao , Congratulations to your new acquisition! Josef Heisler in Vienna seems to have marked all of the lanterns he sold in that way....
These lanterns were coated with a transparent lacquer so that the brass retains its shine. However, this lacquer is not very durable and can be...
That's not a matter of skills, but only of force. You could also try to use a vice. But press carefully and check the results with a tapered...
From the fit of the inner chimney and the protrusion of the jet everything looks right, so I don't think it's sucking in combustion gases or the...
The jet definitely doesn't seem to be pointing straight up. That could be a problem. You could also try carefully smoothing the edge of the mixing...
And I see that its vaporizer has the fin inwards as described in the patent, and as shown in the 1953 document: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Below are 2...
