It's not an exact measurement, but it's pretty close to 10". Good to know about the AGM hollow wire shade ring. I'll have to keep an eye out for one.
@Ole Larson Thanks for the extra photo of the shade/globe ring. That is quite an ornate stamping which I suppose would have given it extra...
@Ole Larson Maybe I'm a bit slow here, but just to clarify something for me. You mention a shade holder ring and a shade rest. Is this the same...
The previous version of attachment was the flange fitting which often came with the insect shields underneath. That solved the insect issue, but...
Personally I wouldn't light it but its your lamp so you can do with it what you like. If you need more user lamps I'm sure something can be worked...
It's quite likely it is gold paint then. I am not convinced it was done at the factory though, but can't rule it out. With a lamp that's been...
@Brian Reynolds So what's your impression. Is it gold paint or aged varnish (or something completely different)? I have not seen a gold coloured...
@Tony Press It is the shade holder fitting. Looks the same as in the second lot of photos Ole posted.
The end of the tube where the burner attaches looks like what is on the Quirks wall lamp. It has just had the original valve control hole plugged...
I wonder if the gold colour could be a varnish that has yellowed with age. I am pretty sure that the collars were originally galvanised or tinned.
With the info I have, that would make it the second variation which was around from 1945 to 1947. Any sign of there ever being a label on the...
Your not wrong about it being confusing. I was lucky to get a lot of information from Albert White (Handi Albert) some years ago, so can answer...
A couple of questions to narrow down which version you have. 1. Is there a patent number in the burner casting? 2. Is it possible to get a better...
Well that goes without saying. You said 70s and I said 80s.
@Tony Press It would have been the Entertainment Centre, but I can't remember the year. I was in Sydney (RAAF in Richmond) from 82 to 87.
I saw Jethro Tull live in Sydney, Australia, in the 1980s. It was also quite a show. :)
The last photo looks like one of the roadside marker posts with something perched on it. Probably a moth. ;)
I have never seen a description of these in any Primus paperwork, but I believe these were used mainly together with the mica. The original 1001...
The diameter should be 135mm. The height is not as easy. One early catalogue mentioned 135mm for the height. A Swedish friend had some glasses...
Well it's not a date, as this heater model first started in the 1930s. Going by the filler cap and pump I would estimate yours to be from the...
