The 4-digit date codes were first used in the 1960's. Before that there were scratched Numbers on the tank bottoms. Dr. Lahde left E&G and...
You could have a look at the site of Torsten Scherning, where a fettle of an 824N is documented. Good luck, it will be a piece of hard work and...
The 824N appears in catalogues from 1930 - 1936. It is always shown with that specific kind of preheater and uses paraffin / kerosene as the only...
There are similar arrangements on many other lanterns, such as Hasag and Phoebus that I've come across. The pump rod seems to be machined...
The air gap between jet and mixing tube looks a bit small to me. The flame in the picture with the hood mounted could indicate a rich burn...
Neil, fingers crossed that the consultant was wrong. In old age the disease doesn't progress as quickly, as I see with my father. I hope that you...
There should be a small headless screw in the ball with the lever (seen from the other side) that needs to be removed to pull the ball off the shaft.
Since the air release screw is crimped in so that it cannot get lost you will have to use some penetrating oil and gentle force to remove it.
It's terrible to hear that. All the best for Neil! He is one of the fellow collectors who has contributed the most to the knowledge we all benefit...
@Leonardo Collares That is the website of Jürgen Breidenstein, who is a well-known collector in Germany. He has extensive knowledge of Petromax...
The straight vaporiser with the small tip/jet should be used with petrol/gasoline in my opinion. If you try to search for Petroman images, you...
Next day, more people, good weather, good mood..[ATTACH]
Hello all and greetings from Switzerland, from Ruedi Fischer's collector's meeting.[ATTACH] Unfortunately bad weather today, but the mood is good...
I would have thought that both should be screwed together. At least it is so at my lanterns from that age.
It's not unusual that Petromax used an imperial thread, as many other German / Austrian manufacturers did as well. These threads are still common...
The right one with the square profile is from a 200 CP pre-war Hasag, e. g. 42, 242 or the like. It has the same dimensions like the Petromax...
Hello Reinhard, do you have links or pictures of these lanterns? I'd be interested in seeing them.
@Toby Garner Thank you for your opinion. It was my guess that this lantern could have been sold by the company of Josef Rosenthal (who...
Then it would be even more interesting to find something out about this one... From the Coleman book I found out that it must be from between 1941...
[ATTACH] Sütterlin zu lesen ist doch eigentlich ganz einfach... Reading Sütterlin isn't that hard at all.
