Petromax 794

I bought it yesterday and it is still on the road, but I couldn't resist to post it.
It seems it has a pricker even if the knob, as some other parts, is missed.
When it arrives I'll post some other images.

Electrocuted, is it?
I hope you'll manage to restore it to a genuine paraffin lamp again.
Atleast it looks like they been pretty gentle with the wiring.

 

Uh that is a nice find Juan . Congratulations
I like the grey colour - you dont see those a lot.
Solid and square - a real Petromax

Yes, electrocuted. Expensive but I don't know when I'll see another like this again. I guess it is a 250 cp lamp and the missing parts perhaps are common to the 834. I know that 834 parts are not easy to find, but I expect to restore it to working condition ... some day.

 

An interesting restoration project!

 

Rare piece, in grey.

Early PX type

 

Ok, the lamp arrived and it is not a 764 as the seller said but a 794. More complete than showed on the seller pictures and it will rest with other hanging lamps until I have some time to work on it.

 

Well that is good because I did not have a 764 listed but I do have 794 as a 400cp lamp with copper tank and grey enamell. I can't remember if I have ever seen another. Certainly not a common one. Nice find. ::Neil::

 

Good score Juan.
But where is the pricker ?

 

No pricker, Wim. Just a "regular" 794.

 

Good luck with the restoration. My I have already presented .
