Here is another Theodore Kreingel "Meteor" from Russia from the early 20th century. It has a jet with about a 0.35 mm hole, so it does not work with kerosene, but runs on ethanol. I made a holder for a standard Anchor glass. I made a mixing system and mantle holder using two ceramic mixers from Anchor. The Northstar mantle fits in it. I made an adapter for the quick-release coupler of a modern compressor. I also made a pressure gauge scale, because the original is missing. I could not attach an SVG directly, so I attached a GIF. Now the lantern works relatively stably. Admittedly, it looks sloppy and doesn't burn quite properly. Nevertheless, as far as I know, this is the most successful operation of a Kreingel lamp in recent history.
By the way, there is the mark "Привилегiя 1461-17817" ("Privilege 1461-17817") on the lantern bottom.
Neil McRae’s Pressure Lamp Catalogue has this in the listing for Meteor: “Kerosene drop in fount lamp. Similar in style to Primus 1005 but with a different upright mantle burner. Tank embossed with “ТЕОДОРЪ КРЕИНГЕЛБ ВИЛЬНА”. The one example of this lamp has Theodor Kreingel marked in Cyrillic script and we have one advert purporting to be from 1911 showing this same lamp with the same name but it is not clear if this is a Russian or Lithuanian company or indeed if the lamp was actually manufactured in one of those countries or if they were bought in from a Swedish maker such as Primus or Simplex.” Tony
