    It took better eyes than mine to see the datemarks on this Baby. But a german from Pelam-forum knew where to look and found the marks in the bottom.
    These marks is not scratched by using a template as in the 30's, but entirely by freehand.
    The 821's babys is to be started around the mid twenties according to Joachim "Petrofeuer" at Pelam-forum who also says the lamp looks very complete/original all the way, so it should be a good reference.

    I see what you mean, but it is the ImageOptimizer makeing that - it is not there on the real photo (just cheked) and on the real photo the 14 12 29 is more clear.

    David - who cares if it is in the morning or afternoon. It is dark all the time in the winter :D That's probably why they made Baby's ;)
