Petromax 826 300cp ~1930

Here is my oldest Petromax lantern, a Petromax 826 from round abaut 1930.
It still has the old, one-piece carburetor with the service screw below the carburetor tube. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any markings on the bottom of the tank. Based on various catalogs, I assume that it was produced between 1928 and 1931.

It does appears so.
You have a very desirable lantern. Looks complete with all the original parts too.

 

Congratulations @leo .
I wonder if your lamp has "regular" mixing tube or maybe something like that below?


all the best,
Piotrek

 

It's in very good condition.

 

@leo
Very nice old Petromax and even with a pressure gauge
Does it also have this inner case screwed into the hood like @Piotrek showed ?

 

@Reinhard
Hello Reinhard,
No, the inner casing and the hood are not screwed together.

 

I would have thought that both should be screwed together. At least it is so at my lanterns from that age.
