This one looks like an Unic 6 found, with a no 9 burner. Origional or hybrid? manometer not origional
@Gerard beautifull lamp Certainly the latest version of lamp n ° 6 which is mounted with an aluminum burner n ° 2 (identical to the burner of the Unic 9 lamp) Eugène Brodier died in 1949, his widow succeeded him and then Georges Haupois continue the production on October 20, 1951. She had to date from these years. The production of this n ° 6 will stop quickly for the benefit of the only n ° 9 We have already seen Providus Manometers mounted on this lamp n ° 6. It must be an agreement with the Italian firm. https://weblampesapression.wixsite.com/lampes/france-unic-lumiere
Thanks for all that information. This lamp dates from around 1949-1951, if I understand you well? I thought that the Providus manometre was a replacement and was planning to replace it. Now I'll leave it as it is....
Hi @Gerard "This lamp dates from around 1949-1951, if I understand you well?" I would not be as precise. One can imagine that the production under the responsibility of Eugène Brodier had remained a little "dated", with the "skirt" tank and perhaps even for certain luxury models, the work of shaping tanks (vine clusters or leaves and binding flowers). This certainly disappeared after the war due to the disappearance of many specialized Jewish workers and the cost of this meticulous work. We can therefore imagine that G Haupois has over the years, on the one hand, limited the number of models and on the other hand, modernized the appearance of these models The poverty of the documents does not allow to be more precise
