    Hi fellas.
    I've recently restored this lamp.
    Here a link to the picture gallery.
    Hugo Pollak, Vienna; Gasoline vapor lamp, ca. 1900

    There's another Pollak lamp discussed in this forum which I'd very much like to see restored and completed.
    I've tried to send a message to the poster but he/she is obviously not active anymore. :-(

    Hi I own the lamp in Question, Ian was a friend of a friend who kindly sought information for me.

    Hi, Thanks, yes I'm not sure if I want to get it going. I've not done anything to it at all just dusted it ;)
