    Nice condition but I can see that the globe you fitted there has a hole on the bottom end. I have one of these and, even if I still didn't light it, I made some research.

    You need a completely closed globe on the outside and a second globe on the inside opener on both ends. There are three tags on the pre heat cuvette, visible on your pics, to attach the inner globe there and at least it will give you an idea of the globe diameter; I know that Wim Van der Welden adapted a Feuerhand globe for this.

    I know that both globes, the external one close and the internal one open, generate a proper air flow from outside to inside and then through the chimney for the proper burner working.

    Have a tour here: Link

    Hi juan.
    First of all, thanks a lot for the good advice that is useful to me.
    About globes. External and internal globe effect lighting.

    I will try to find ideas. For instructions that you can tell me.

    Thank you very much.

    I found another good explanation on The Lamp Guild at www.lampguild.org . Go to the Q&A page and, on the archives, look for the #5677.

    In this link, BBL, you have another great example of a complete one with original glass globes.
