Alex, I have little knowledge of the Petromax brand, but I know green was an original colour before WW-2 on some of their lamps. It only makes your lamp extra special, also considering the very good condition she seems to be in. I only get nervous when I look at that picture where you hold that glass in one hand.... So congratulations with this find; I do hope you will get her in working order, but leave the original appearance by just mildly cleaning her, as this would also keep her value. Good luck with this project, regards, Mike
