    Hello,

    I have had this lamp for, at least, 20 years. The general condition is fine but the nozzle is missing.

    I guess it is an HS lamp because of the logo on the tank but I had never confirmation of this. What do you guess? It has no other marks.

    Juan,

    The nozzle is what the mantle ties onto? I'm asking because over the years I have seen people refer to a jet/tip as a nozzle.

    nozzle.gif Yes, Matty. This is what I mean with nozzle: the ceramic stuff where to hang the mantle up.

    @Juan Surely, someone, somewhere has a nozzle that you could buy. Perhaps you could find the measurements and post them? Are there any modern day nozzles that might fit it?

    Depends on the size of the thread.

    Gas burners like these normally don't fit.

    I guess this has to be screwed on a mixing chamber. Isn't it? In this case, I have to find one.
    Are these noses yours, Wim?

    They screw on a gas lamp fitting:

    If I remember well the ceramic nozzle screw into a thin brass tube. I used one from a Graetzin indoor gaslight.
    Unfortunate these parts tend to burn up. Or simply drilled through for an electric cable.

    Yes these are mine like the gasmantles I got from the late "Henk de gasman".

    Btw Your Graetzin 915 has the same setup.

    @WimVe - Wim, I got a similar gas nose (as those in your plastic bag) on an alcohol donut I am just now restoring.
    Tried it on the mixing tube for the Lipsia lamp and it fits. Nearly 18 mm threads. Could use a couple for two unrestored
    gravity lamps that is missing the burner nose with the same diameter.
