1925/193? lampe foraine Lilor n°4083

Hi all
Here is my "lampe foraine" n°4083 from Lilor from 1925 to 193?.



I was very puzzled, about this lamp looking at the Liotard/lilor catalogues I own.
This lamp is not really represented in any of them.
If you closely observe the pictures, you can see that my lamp have a space between the shade and the donut tank. Conny's lamp have the same shape : here ;

In this space, we can see the cleaning system mechanism of the burner (here a "bec STA" or STA burner)
On the catalogues pages, this is not this lamp which is represented, although, we have a space but it is far more small.



I needed to observe closely the texts and I have found this :
- The lamp already exists in 1915 (Liotard) and 1920/21/22 (Lilor) with a 3/4 liter tank and no needle (only a filter in the jet)
Could be Paul's lamp here : http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/2911 but there are not enough pictures to be sure.
- in 1923/24 ; still no needle but a 1 liter donut tank.
- We must wait for 1925/26's catalogue to see the cleaning needle system.
The catalogue's picture is the same as in 1915 (and will be the same even in 1930).
I think the explanation is that they simply have not changed this picture between 1915 and 193?
This lamp have been produced until in the 30's but I don't know exactly (no more exists in 1937)



This lamp needs the donut tank in order to be finished. I had no round globe, so I have used a Mariva glass. It have held one hour and ....Crac ;-((

 

Hi Michel,

Nice lamp! Agree, often you see catalogue images of lamps for a long period of time; still the same drawing/image even if changes have been made.
I think the part between the donut tank and reflector was extended a bit at some time, to make room for the cleaning needle control.

Another beautiful lantern, Michel.

A fine example!

 

Ahh yes I was watching that. Nice lamp indeed, especially the condition.

 

Gratulation Michel, stunning condition it is in .
You must have all the Lilor's about now

Thanks guys
Yes, very good condition, no rust and good enamel, no brass stress.

All Lilor lamps ? hum, still not ;-)

 

This lamp is intended for outdoor
because "Foraine" comes for fairground
but I wanted to have a little fun in the spirit of the 30s (houlala;-)
As the round globe has not endured the trip, I tried it other finery.
What do you think of that

 

Michel, in all honest.......nooo

 

Nah Michel , to me this lamp demands simplicity.
Do you think the shade that followed was original by the way?

I know guys ;-)
Even my wife and daughter don't like this.
The shades (in fact a shade and a tulip) are originals but not for this lamp
