Primus vs. Petromax

Hello @Hattelak79
Welcome to CPL.
Nice lamps
Do you live in Skive? I live at Mors.
Do you collect pressure lamps.
Regards Tom

 

Grand old lanterns!

 

Thanks!
No, not a collector. I have them just to remind me that times once where different, and that for me is important. Det giver ro i sjælen...

 

The primus is labelled as a 1320. Is it still set up for alcohol or has it been converted to run on kerosene?

 

Good stuff to be prepared with.
As long if you also have some kerosene/petroleum.

 

Stil spirit . Since 1952, presumably.

 

Good to know it is still for alcohol. I find they work well. Just remember to drain the tank when not being used for while as the alcohol is not kind to any of the seals.

It certainly looks like 1952 would fit. That would be date code AR.

 

Nice working lanterns you have there. They look as original as they can be.
They would remind you of different eras, I think. The Petromax would likely remind you of the 1930s. The Primus, 50s?

 

Yes i believe it is

 

Nice to see them compared (and just to see them in use in general)
