Hi all newbie here , i have just started polishing a vintage lamp and in the cleaning process i dropped the glass shade is it possible to get a replacement? many thanks for any responses
Michael, it looks like a "standard" size 500CP lantern. Have a look at the enclosed screenshots. You can probably buy them in th UK as well. Good luck.
thanks Erwin the glass measures 110mm high and 110m diameter, i cant read german so which globe would it likely be please?? many thanks
Hi @Michael Kinsella It looks the same as the Petromax 829 / Hipolito 502 and similar. I think part no 74 here: Assorted wicks and chimneys @ColinG will be pleased to add your lantern to his globe list. best Chris
Yours is interesting - do you think that the fuel cap/pressure release is original to the lantern ? Other versions here with that logo have the more "petromax" type pressure guage/screw Fama
I notice Michael's lantern is alcohol preheat only, perhaps the combined fuelcap/pressure gauge was only standard on the model fitted with a rapid preheater. @Michael Kinsella Is there a model number stamped on the tank or on a label on the collar ?
These lanterns were also available as Hipolito and Geniol.The Hipolito and FAMA were certainly manufactured over a longer period of time and went through several modifications.The Geniol was probably only available for a short time ,it only changed once on the cap,marked and unmarked. The production of these lanterns probably ended around 1974/75 when the production of the new Hipolito H-302/502,LANTERNE D-306/506,Petromax 828/829 started.The new Geniol 350/500cp probably only came onto the market in 1977 at least I haven't seen an older one.I gleaned all of these insights from my collection.
And will we see it working later on ? - don't forget to take some nice photos of it and put it in the reference gallery here: Portugal
