You are on the right track, a 3D laser printing. Edelstahl 1.4401. It is a Vorwärmschahle a Petromax 835th what are not heard there, are needed to build.
Wow! It must have cost a fortune to make! What are the dimensions, and what does an original part look like?
Probably a homemade marriage out of a stove tank for the larger, one burner kinds and a lantern top. E.g. an Optimus 531 tank, or similar stove/furnace tank, with an Optimus 200, or similar Petromax-type lantern, on top.
I saw pictures of that lamp at last years meeting. It is a large Optimus tank (maybe from a 703 heater) and a 200 top. From what I could see then, it is the first variation of the 200 as well with the single piece vapouriser. It should keep burning for a long time.
Would it be by design or a hybrid? American chicken farmers were using lanterns such as this to increase output of their flocks,
The one with different Optimus parts is just a thing someone put together, probably because they had the parts laying around. Poultry lanterns, however, were made by the factories. As the Coleman. E.g. Primus also had a factory made, large tank lantern for long running time; the 1021. (Picture from M.Meijer in the gallery)
My thought on first sight , looks like Australian Aladdin Stove /Heater tank, could it be an early high volume Radius
Optimus stove tank and Optimus lantern, as already guessed by me above, and confirmed by Nils who was at the meeting.
I once asked the owner of the lamp. This is a tank for a lamp and the vent screw is also like a typical for a lamp. The tank has no numbering. that would be common for a digester tank.
The Sassenberg Petromax and Mantle Lantern Meeting. Was there yesterday. Saw the 3D printed preheat ring. Amazing. Regards Willi
