    Hello everyone.
    Today I buy this Optimus 200 that seems to be complete and original. I'm going to clean it and check it.
    Any idea of the manufacturing date?

    Probably from the last few years before 1957.

    Some chances it might still function as it is. The mantle is still in place. Otherwise, a mere clean out of old fuel and pertially clogged, carbonized internals would likely be enough to bring it back to full performance.
