CONTINENTAL Donut ??????

Here my newest catch.
A Continental Donut from 1912, 1000hk.

This is now the biggest lamp from my collection.
The wheight is 32kg (without fuel).

The fount has a capacity from 12l, 6l is the highest level for lighting.

Fount has a fuel level, Empty-Half-Full

Burns with Coleman fuel.

The jet is marked with 1000,
I don't know the type from this lamp, to rare.
I don't have any paperwork

 

32 kg! That's a monster.

More pictures would be appreciated. Details.
And with some sort of reference to actually give us an imagination of its size.

 

Ok Christer, tomorrow

The tank has a diameter from 50cm

 

Wow! What a great find!!!

 

Thanks Karli.
We like many pictures in the reference gallery.

 

Beautiful piece of equipment!
I would not want to sit under it, though.

Perhaps it should be dubbed the Lamp of Damocles...

 

A grand old lamp!

 

How great one.

 

I like the "egg" timer on the side. Do you think it is standard and what would it have been used for?

 

Hi Nils,

the is standard.

It is used for the preheating time.
