This is another Australian Gloria table lamp using the hollow wire No. 20 burner with inverted plumbing, and an Akron-style tank. It is similar, though not the same, as this other Australian Gloria: Gloria Table Lamp (Australia; listed as AO in PLC) Note also the crackle-painted copper tank like that on the heater of @Marko57: GLORIA HEATER (Australia) Original blue paint. No stampings on the No. 20 shroud. The generator is badly beaten but I will refurbish it. I am using an Old Coleman Parts modern replacement generator below. I put brass gauze in the burner cap. The handle had been sanded back to bare wood. I treated it with Jarrrah-stained Tung oil, and filled the hollow centre with linseed oil for 24 hours to treat the wood. “Gloria” Up and running [Note: the fuel containers in the background are empty and clean] The glass is most likely a Gloria glass. Butterfly 400/600cp mantle. … I acquired this lamp from Collin Mills. Cheers Tony
I do like these Gloria items with the original blue paint still on them. not many have been found. Well done @Tony Press on getting this one up and running, another one added to your Gloria pile. Cheers Marko.
The paint job on the tank is very beautiful. The wood finish looks natural, but was it originally dirty?
@Camp numao It would have been painted originally, but it came to me with the paint sanded back to bare wood. Tony
I actually prefer a finish that shows the wood grain as it gives a warmer feel. Thanks for letting me know.
@Camp numao I’m working on another Australian Gloria lamp that has the same handle. I was originally painted black: Cheers Tony
