Here is my new restauration This old lady can be seen in a 1910 Heeckhout & Foubert catalogue. H&F are big hardware dealers (only resellers) The burner patent is claimed by Ernest Noël circa 1905 The SIAE (Société Industrielle d'Articles d’Éclairage) where, I think, the lamp was built is founded in 1900 https://weblampesapression.wixsite.com/lampes/copie-de-france-lumiere-noel the lamp had a hard life here are the before pictures : With great attention and care, she comes back to life Later the lighting tests
Congratulations Michel, you have taken scrap metal and returned it to its former beauty I notice the control valve has been changed during the fettle. I'm just wondering which one is correct?
thank you all @ROBBO55 Well observed, the original controller is in the surgery room (very inflated/stuck by rust and the wheel is missing) So I mounted a controller that I had on a wreckage The original one will be raised if I manage to save it
Here it is in its original configuration, up and running I was wrong : the burner's patent is 1908 (FR395623A) I took the opportunity to study again her wardrobe
