This is a relatively complete first-generation 827, the original box, multilingual instruction manual, a multi-purpose wrench and a puncture needle, and spare parts. The bottom depicts the number 10.9. I think it should have been produced in October 1939.
Woow, never been used, fantastic find. I'm even not asking where you find it... Are you time traveller? My congratulations!!!
Your lantern is fantastic, it is in stunning condition with all the parts loose. Please note that the glass is a production of the 60s.
Are you sure? But there is GE in the circle... I have got same globe as original war time in my 2827...
For glass this is not the case. I have seen many new lanterns with the old logo. I think somebody forgo to tell Schott about this.
The glasses signed Schott u Gen Mainz date for the older ones from 1952 when the new Schott glass factory was built to the west. Regards, Titoo.
I have got the same globes, so now I know these are from 1960-th. Why is then EG if it was only untill 1943?
I think Schott only received the official contract from the E&G company a long time ago for the original logo to be printed/etched on the globe. The E&G on the glass globes remained even when the company became Graetz and continued to be used for those lanterns produced after WWII, throughout the 50s and 60s. The newer / present day globes on the Petromax lanterns no longer have the E&G logo. I've not seen any with the 'G' only logo on Schott globes. The new Petromax lanterns would have a 'P' on the logo instead of E&G or G. These are no longer manufactured by the Graetz company. The globes can be made by Schott or other companies. If its by Schott, it would only have its own logo on it.
