    Hi All,

    This is one more old lamp i am having currently, which needs cleaning. I am not able to figure out the Country of Origin and Manufacturing date for this model. Need help from this forum.
    Thanks,
    Karumbiaah

    This has the look of a product from Pakistan or India. That chunky contol is common to several brands from that area. You need to dismantle it and have a look to see if there are any markings on the valve body casting. ::Neil::

    Thank you for the info. Except one bull engraved on the side, I dont see any details in the lamp. I assume its a Indian make and not Pakistan.

    Thanks,

    Could be either but if you think India then I won't argue with that. There are a lot of lamp brands from this region which were made by small one or two man operations and only sold locally. So new brand names keep turning up and I am sure they will continue to do so as more and more escape via the Bay. Often they are marked with a country of origin but sometimes not and then all we can do is take a guess. ::Neil::
