    This is my Petromax Rapid 828 made in April 1938. The lantern was found in Australia.

    NOTE: The lantern came with a "Cat Brand" hood, and is shown below with this hood. It was/is also fitted with an Australian Aladdin 1A ceramic flame spreader and fitting.

    The fettling of this lantern is shown here:
