Thanks Martin. The link has all the information I need. The one main statement that I should have seen earlier was the comment that it is almost...
So I am still attempting to get my 12A Aladdin back to nearer original. When I bought this (cheap) it had no vent or burner at all and no glass. I...
OK lets have it!
You are most likely right but I would have to say that whoever made it had excellent machining and brazing skills as it is made very precisely. It...
Very beautiful lamp. I so like these Swedish made table lamps, they have a certain design flair that makes them very appealing and seem to be very...
A few Optimus 930 lanterns have appeared on our local auction site lately and I snagged a couple. OK so these are common enough I guess but what I...
I had a look at the other one I have with the non-156 style handle, it is dated 4/47 so very close to your posted one. Maybe only the early 1947...

@Tony Press Thanks for your thoughts Tony always greatly appreciated. I think I am just going to love it as it is without possibly ever being...

OK. This lamp has been repainted by previous owner so not possible to see any stamps on the bottom but the faint outline of the star shaped logo...
Having searched through the reference gallery here and in Terry Marsh the only reference to there being a model 131 is by Terry Marsh who has a...
No preheater cup on this one. Would have to see the other side to identify. I.E any control valve?
Yep. 243B a few of them lurking here in NZ. Supposed to be a budget version of the 242B but apart from the aluminum vent and steel collar nothing...
When you get it back from the platers will you spot weld it back onto the globe rest or make some sort of clip?
I have this Optimus 930 fully fettled and running like a champion but when I received it the preheater cup was rattling around loose with no...
Those cards behind the control knob are usually only found on unfired lanterns and are discarded after first lighting.
@ROBBO55 Here's my one just finished today. Runs like a champion, quiet and bright. My new favourite Tilley. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
