Petrοmax 523e 500cp

Hello everyone ,

This is my Lantern that my grandfather bought somewhere in the 50s and recently i restored

 

Nice work on this good looking lamp.
Are there plans to light it?

@Tomas Vuto
Yes , it turned out really beautiful
The reflecto,the carrying handle , the glass cylinder and the pressure gauge are brand new Petromax parts .
You neatly removed the nickel plating from the old Petromax parts .how did you do that ?

 

@LatMag49 Thank you very much . i already did for about an hour . i burns realy well as far as i can tell .

 

@Reinhard thank you very much !!!
wow you have a very good eye .
It was never chrome , it is just brass finish .
I olny clean it with ultrasonic cleaner and polish it a little

 

Nice job, and a very nice lamp

Gilles
