Hi all, see my new treasure.... all information is welcome from the catalog> where can i find this glass globe or who can make one??
Age, somewhere around 1910, give or take. What you mainly miss to get it going, is the flame spreader/burner. You can see what it should look like in e.g. this post. There are some other minor details missing in the burner area. And pf course you also need a tank that you can pressurize and a bit of tubing with a fitting for the lamp in order to get the kerosene up to the burner. The glass for your model is hard to get. You also miss the large ring that the glass is supposed to be fitted to, and the metal net it use to fix the glass to the fitting. Your lamp has another shape on the lower lamp body and don't use the two chains to lower the glass, but a hinge and a lever. That was more common on the C-lamps, and those often had a more shaped globe rather than a spherical globe like in my two CF's. Below you can see two versions of the C-lamp; the CF, which is the same as in my two posts in here, and one called CFE. There you can see the differences in how the globe are attached to the lamp. Yours use the more common to the left, but I don't say that you have a CFE! The ornaments aren't exactly the same. Just pointing out the difference from a "pure" CF. The CF is however also said to be sold in variants with the left type of globe hinge, so yours may very well be a CF (F is for "Förnicklad" i.e "Nickel plated (details) since the F-designations always are for lamps with nickel plated ornaments.)
bp4willi, if you followed the link I posted, you would have seen what it should look like. It's not a nozzle as in the later lamps, but an entire burner that you hang the mantle over. Same type of burner as Didiers lamp use, and a schematic of the system:
waw, thanks to everybody who give me these wonderfull information... will be a tuff one to restore.... espacial the glass globe...
