My parcel from the East arrived today. It is unclear to me if this is a new or an NOS unbranded lantern from Aliex… And the money shot. Swapped to inox burner hood from a working Pmax.. Clay burner a no no for me…
Correction, not Aliex... Will need taobao agent in your area to get them. Brass Chrome 150CP Brass Chrome and Lantern Pole 150CP Chrome 150CP With shipping cost, i would say, they cost the what Petromax HK150 would have cost when new. Build quality expect the Santrax Pmax. But it does feel slightly different from my brass Santrax. I'm not sure why.
That could be made by the same manufacturer of the modern Petromax or the Santrax. Only they don't put a brand on it.
I'm not particularly certain but some of these lanterns appear as if they're chrome-played brass instead of nickel. Chrome masks out all the yellow-brassy colours. Nickel-plated ones usually have a very slight yellow tint on them.
I am really confident this lamp was made by the same company, albeit with some minor changes. Perhaps to their original design? or cost cutting? However, the most of it is Petromaxy Santraxy. Even has the 6 digit serial. Nothing, like the Out-D L6 lamp.
These modern Pmax made lanterns… I never seen any other clones for 150cp to really compare with. I will get back with maybe some photos of a Pmax HK150, Out-D and this un-named one.. I've just poured red-kote into the Out-D tank, it developed some surface rust. The badge mounting holes are there but no tag
