You're not the only one who has tried a Coleman shade on a 1015. Here is a photo of mine I took back in 2019. There's also a photo of it with the...
From my observations, there were two variations before this one with the new shape hood. The one you show is the first one with the stainless...
That is the first time I have seen the nut for the wheel with a hole all the way through. The only difference I have seen with these nuts is that...
Using electrolysis, it should be relatively easy to remove the nickel. If doing a few, it might have been worth it to set up the equipment....
My guess would be a Hipolito. I have seen a few of these in DK where the nickel has been removed as well as the label on the collar. Probably a...
A related question here. Was it Hipolito that made the first 150cp lantern of this design that has been copied by a few companies, e.g. Santrax?
Very nice Conny. That looks wonderful. That bolt/cap on the burner ball is interesting. I have a plain DHF and the thin tube of the burner is...
What I measure is a diameter of 2.2mm, thread count about 60 TPI and a length of 3/16". This matches very closely to a BA No. 8 thread.
It is not uncommon to find a lamp that has had the nickel plating removed. Polished brass has been quite fashionable at different time periods...
As Martin has said, the glass frame and the pump are made by Optimus. The fact that it is polished brass is also a discrepancy. The only Petromax...
@Tony Press What's the thickness of the wire and the spacing?
You know that the 119A is a 500cp lamp? That might account for the apparently rich mixture. The lamp looks to be from the late 1930s or early...
What it looks like is that the burner cap has been replaced on the right hand one at some point in time. It is the 'new' type with the one piece...
The glass for these is a standard size for most of the larger Optimus, Petromax and many other brands. If I remember correctly, it is 110 x 115...
@Assel I have never been able to get a precise starting year on these but 1940 would be close. I tend to lean a year earlier, but there is no proof.
There are no markings on the lamp for either the 1200B or 1200M. They all only have 1200 on the tank. The 1200M is easy as it is the brass...
What you have is the first variation of the Optimus 1300. For some reason Optimus didn't stamp the tank with 1300 at first. This happened a bit...
I don't understand your question. Which two models are you talking about? There have been several different variations of the 1200 and three...
With that filler cap, I would say 70s.
And pre 1931 as well.
