Very best - Depuse - Paris

Hi! I don't know if it's missing something or if the chimney is original.
I'm gonna post pictures after cleaning.
I don't know anything about this lamp.

 

Hi,

I think you will get a lot of info of the French Very Best brand from this site and the French collector Michel Binard …….
Lampe à gravité "Very Bestl" n° 12

/Conny

 

Thanks Conny! I think i have a öot to read
Best regards,
Francisc

 

Hello Carpedien
Very best is a French brand (Paris)
you have to read "déposé" instead of "depuse" which means that the model is registered (protected)
The good glass for this kind of burner is a strait cylinder glass because the air intake is done by the bottom through the burner
the glass you have is a natural gaz glass

 

Thanks Michel! After posting i found your post ( Very Best gravity lamp (around 1910) ) and followed the link there and the link Conny provided.
I need to clean the vaporizer and i think I'm missing a net or something

 

An interesting fettling project.

 

Very interesting lamp! The vapour has some distance to travel into the j-tube!

Alec.

 

Hi! It was a fast assembly. The distance is shorter, about 1 inch ( 2-3 cm) when i study the other lamps.
Best regards,

I think you have all to understand here
Lampe à gravité "Very Bestl"

You only miss the small cup which slide on the generator.
With this cup, you will be able to change/adjust the air/gasoline ratio.

 

the right glass you need is the right side one
in order to put an small opaline lampshade
one can see those opalines sometimes for sale
but the glass is very difficult to find

 

Thanks! I tried do create a cylinder glasswith the diam of 48mm but i managed to have a lot of cracks.
How did you clean the vaporizer? It barely comes through a little water (during the cleaning process )
Best regards,
Francisc
