    Again one of them saved. That's a very nice lamp.
    If you don't have a glass, those of a Px or Geniol 150 cp
    will fit. They are still available.
    Good luck with restoring.

    That is a very nice find. Hope you get a glass for it. A picture of its first light would be good to see.
    Cheers

    Nice and rare lantern.
    If it has the opriginal jet and pricker guard them !
    The thread is different from the new 150cp ones. To keep it time based correct a mica globe would be nice.

    Very lucky find. Little Baby is certainly not very common. Yet to see one around here in Malaysia.

    Hi Wim!
    A mica globe? I have never seen a 900 with such globe. Do you have some picture or image of any kind to see, please?
    Thank you
    Juan

    All old lanterns where sold primary with mica globes.
    Glass was more expensive and an option. Now a days most lanterns if not all have glass globes.
