That one would be a nice one to get hold of. It is fairly early (late 1940s) and that colour hood is not too common.
I like the look of the shade. Well done. How good is it with the lamp lit? I wouldn't have thought of a Coleman bulge globe fitting these, but it...
Even though the catalogue doesn't show them, Almost all of the 143/145s I have seen do have them.
I have just had a thought that the wings weren't needed on the 143 and 145 as they have a handle and can be hung up when not attached to the tank.
These are very difficult questions to answer as there is not much information available about these models. Radius always had a lamp adapter...
From looking at the picture, I would say you need to increase the gap. It should be about 14mm. Like most other 300cp PX style lamps.
That's in very nice condition and is looking good. Well done. I have seen a French Radius brochure from 1937 that shows Radius' Petromax style...
That 'filler cap' looks like a pipe fitting so maybe the thread is a standard pipe thread?
That's an interesting find. I've seen railway ones before but not main roads. The disc at the top is interesting. I wonder what the idea was.
That's a nice one you have there Darryl. Not at all that common. That attachment of the tripod was only made in 1959 and 1960 so there can't be...
Yes the 992 is a good lamp. They work well and look good. A bit noisy though, but in a good way. :) In 1955 there should be a red metal plate...
I am fairly certain that the 1551 wasn't made until the 90s. Maybe the very late 80s. The predecessor for the 1551 was the 1550, which started in...
I have never seen any proof that this is the first version of the 1551 but all evidence points that way. Quality wise there is not any difference...
I did a quick search in the Australian War Memorial photo collection for WW2 and found the following photos. Unfortunately they are quite low...
Considering the lack of known original shades of this design, it is not possible to know how well they fitted. From the pictures I have of the...
I am almost certain that is not an Optimus filler can. I am also fairly sure it is not a commercially made item. The brass looks to be good and...
I have seen one other 1015 from 1928 or 1929 with this shade and it also matches a 1929 catalogue picture (as Frank mentioned), so I would expect...
Is the shade in the first picture the one that was broken or the one you now have? I believe it is the first variation of the shade fitted to...
The mark is the optimal pressure, which is around the 1.8 bar mark. These gauges are not a precision instrument, so the marking should be used as...
This is actually a kerosene lamp. At least that is what is written in the catalogue referenced in the other thread.
