This is a Petromax 822 "Baby" Table Lamp with the date scratches of "5 4" (May 1934). It is from the collection of Bob Bauer (RIP; @Lamp_Doctor). Bob had fettled the lamp, so I did not pull it apart. As there are only a few of these in the Reference Gallery, I have tried to include many distinguishing features in the post. [In this image the lamp has a Hasag reflector and a late Schott Suprax glass; the rest of the lamp is as found]. "Petromax No. 822 Mand in Germany Regd" "Original Baby Petromax Made in Germany Regd." [The stamp has "E" and 10 points on the star] "5 4" ["900"] Up and running... [The ignition pipe in the sprit cup works very well, leaving a small flame for lighting after the rest of the alcohol has burned off] To set this lamp up I fitted a NOS Schott Suprax glass, and used a Hasag reflector. Bob did a good job of fettling this lamp so my contribution was cleaning, checking the seals and the NRV, testing the burner, and putting in new kerosene. I re-polished the lamp, and cleaned up more of the surface rust in the burner after getting these photos. I used a Peerless 2C-HG mantle which worked perfectly. The lamp is very bright! I re-polished the lamp, and cleaned up more of the surface rust in the burner after getting these photos. A great table lamp! Cheers Tony Cheers Tony
I see a typo above in my thread. With respect to the logo it should have said: “The stamp has "EG" and 10 points on the star. Cheers Tony
@Tony Press Yes,you corrected yourself.According to my observation the Petromax sun got 11 rays in the year 2000 in the far east.It is also interesting for me to see that in 1934 the old pump cover was still used.Petromax lamps made before 1937 are very hard to find. I don't have any 1930-1936 Petromaxes.Pearhaps you might find a better clay burner. Regards, Reinhard
@Reinhard I would love to find another old clay burner, or even a new one just in case this one breaks. It’s working well at the current time, though. Best regards Tony
