Anyone knows model or links for more info?

Hi, not sure if its a pressure or burner lamp .but any help is wellcomed.
Informations needed for college research.

 

Well it's definitely a gas lamp in a poor state

 

Very perceptive.
Any idea where to search for more info?
thanks

 

Hi,

You have the remains of a gas light of German make. Graetzin derives from Graetz who was a well known lampmaker in Germany.

Similar lamps were available as streetlight where an automatic switch was operated by a short increase of the gas pressure inside the gas tubes.

Unfortunately your images do not show too much of the lamp.

Have a look over there:

Same as mine by the looks of it

Dear Lamp doctor
thank you very much for your respond,it was really helpfull to compare my lamp with one in a better and more full state.The only difference it seems to be than mine has five lights and yours four.
I'd like to know if I could use your photos in my paper and if that so, what reference I could use since I dont know your name etc, under the photos.
Thanks in advance.

I have 2 of these hoping to restore them soon just chasing up ceramic nose cones for the mantles .
Both of mine are early but later had a pilot light added to them like the later ones,
I have posted photos in topic #11382 in open forum .
