My new Petromax Rapid.

Hi, few days ago I purchased new Petromax 826 rapid, Im really proud of it. At the bottom of tank is date 7 40. Lamp looks almost like new. It doesnt work, I need to fix needle and walve. I hope Will fix it this weekend...

 

Very nice, certainly from the later 1930s or early 1940s. The tank bottom should have some scratched numbers which show the date, sometimes hard to see.

 

Cheers

Tony

 

I'm gonna try to light it this weekend and I will show pictures of my job...

 

Looks like a great find ! look forward to it being seen alive

 

A fine restoration project.

 

Really lovely example! You are lucky!

 

This is my third Px rapid but this is really nice...

 

Congratulations.

 

Nice old Petromax 828 300HK lantern you have.
It looks not used often or used in a good manor. The red enamel is in good condition as is the brass plate on it. If you have the original marked globe, use another. E&G marked globes are getting rare.

 

Unfortunately globe is French, I don't have none original globe for Px 828, otherwise got 12 original globes for Px 2827 because this is core of my collection...
