Welcome Ashok. Seems you've got yourself a nice early Petromax. I reckon there had been many Petromaxes being imported into India in the earlier half of the 20th century. You might have heard of Racek. Most of the lantern appears to be original. Not too sure about the glass globe.
Thank you Bro Here I have NOT getting orginal Glass for the Petromax. Only local made ( small pieces of glass assembled) only is available
Welcome to the forum. There is a lot of expert help here, all you got to do is ask. Enjoy the restoration of your lamp and many others. Cheers Pete
