Hello, There is a lamp i got in Thailand few years ago almost complete only without shade holder & shade. i restored shade holder (local made) follow reference from web library as link http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/782 Thanks Bo and all for great reference information and value info discussed in this post library. Reading thru library post seem the brand is not defined. I looked around the lamp body also not find any mark or label printed. Regards, March
It is shown as No.100 in a Sinumbra catalogue from 1914. It's presented as a new lamp for this year in that catalogue. I don't think Sinumbra is an actual lamp manufacturer. I think it's a company that sold possibly re-badged things, or just simply imported/retailed different apparatus. E.g. their stoves look very German, as does their alcohol lamps. Those even has the German "A" and a "Z" for the on/off manouvre. This "Auto-Lampan" has some features that look much like Lux, though. And not just the name...
I found this 1911 Hugo Schneider (Hasag) patent, when going through a lot patents for an unidentified lamp I have acquired. Different tank but otherwise a match! /Conny
Hi all I don't really see many French style lamps in those papers, please tell me what lamps you are speaking of. But here we know of a Sinombre brand (from old latin language "sine umbra", sans ombre, without shade) the lampe has been patented by a British, Georges Philips in Paris in 1820. the Sinombre lamp was equiped with the round/circular burner of Samuel Parker (son of an old Argand 's associed) François Pierre Ami Argand (5 July 1750 – 14 October 1803) was a Swiss physicist and chemist. He invented the Argand lamp, a great improvement on the traditional oil lamp. In order to prevent the shade and have the light down, the fount is like a thin donut all around under the lampshade Here is a paper with 2 examples :
Michel - my post was referring to that "Sinumbra" no. 100 lamp and that is not at all French in style. If you mean my post for that Sinumbra paper from Bo, I say it has a touch of French style; especially the alcohol table lamps that has a touch of the French Art Nouveau style. Probably all these lamps are German made, after all France was one of the biggest German market for export. Conny
Hi all, After a discovery in the general catalog of Paris-Export establishments (Moderna Company) for the years 1913/1914 at 41 rue Richer Paris 9e. I discover a petroleum gas gravity lamp on page 13 and i find the subject here at CPL&H. If it helps, i think the subject of this lamp might be better understood. I necessary i can digitize the paper. All conversation is welcome. Regards, Titoo.
Hi Titoo, a friend gave me exactly that lamp a few years ago and guessed it could be made by Hugo Schneider. Do you have a scan of higher resolution of the above sheet and would you share it with us? Kind regards Jürgen Breidenstein hytta.de
Hello bausd , Thank Wim..... I took note of your message at the beginning of the month. I apologize for replying to you so late, my schedule is overloaded. Yes it is the document above, I have the original Paris-Export catalog of 1913/1914. I injected this image to extend the original subject of the collector "pimandman" on this lamp, he never replied..... Would you like a scan to be able to zoom the document ? Can I help you more? best regards, Titoo.
Hi Tito, Yes, I would like to read and understand it. The given resolution is too poor to do that. Jürgen
