Hi! I just received this Radius 119A black top. Not cleaned. Glass missing. Unsure if the jet and pricker is the original. On the left Radius 119 (1931-1933) as comparison. Need to gind another 119 Ltd to see if the top is similar. It appears to be too rich, i have the gloria around the mantle. Cheers, Francisc
You know that the 119A is a 500cp lamp? That might account for the apparently rich mixture. The lamp looks to be from the late 1930s or early 1940s except for the wheel. This is a later item that I would expect to see on the version with the red top. Some models from the late 1930s had the black enamel top, so this is not unexpected.
