Very interesting to see them together. If all the parts are original to the lanterns then the green one is from somewhere around 1950 plus minus...
Do you know if this hood is original to this lantern? I have a similar hood, but it came as just the hood. I can probably find a similar vintage...
Very nice find Håvard. As you say, there can't be many like this around. Can we get some more photos of the lamp please.
Well done Marko, that is a great find. Any chance of a photo of the burner and a close up of the label? I'd like to get an idea of when the lamp...
Great work and it all looks good. Well done. The alcohol cup should not be under the mantle, it is the vapouriser that needs to heated.
To start with, there isn't any washer or packing between the excenter assembly and the lower vapouriser. It is just a metal to metal seal. Now...
You've had some good advice with some of the parts, but I will sum up your list. 1. Pump valve or NRV. The one you have could probably be...
You can see what yours would have looked like here. Yes the lamp should be dismantled to a certain extent and cleaned. Cleaning would be best...
Just a comment to the last two of your 'complaints'. :) The very first 930 did have an adjustable J-tube. As a way of cutting costs, the...
The pump knob and cap are threaded so the knob can be screwed down. When this is done, the tip of the pump rod closes the hole in the top of the...
With just 200 on the side of the tank, it would be from the middle to late 1940s and is mostly correct for the model. You can see examples of this...
What I meant was, does it say 200 or 200P on the side of the tank. I can't see it clearly from the photo above.
This looks like a late 1940s or early 1950s Optimus 200 or 200P. It looks like it has had the nickel plating removed. The last version of the 200...
Of course, now that I try to find it, I can't. I believe it was in a very early catalogue that mentioned the 1001 and before the 1050/1051 came...
The glass for a 1051 should be 135 diameter and 130 high. Originally it was listed in a catalogue as 135 x 135, but the height was very tight and...
I couldn't have said it better myself. :) Unfortunately I can't get at my 981s at the moment to take some photos.
It sounds like the thread must have been modified at some time. If a standard Px jet fits, then use a 150 jet and needle. I havn't tried it, but...
That is a very interesting lamp. As you say, it is a 981, but I have never seen this number on a soldered on tag. The lamps with soldered on tags...
Does anyone know if a bead fringe was offered by Tilley? It would be interesting to see what it looks like on a lit lamp (doesn't have to be this...
I have seen pictures of one other HV 1084 and it has the same top as this one, so I assume it is original.
