The lantern with the well painted tank shows a 1943 top, the last pic shows a 1942 top. Just curious how this goes together? One tank with two...
Each of them showing its light power, excellent:thumbup: Matthias
Another early post war Hasag 351L style lamp made in Leipziger Werke, GDR. There are no markings at all. The filler cap thread was completely worn...
A lucky find:thumbup:
The date code is 11/8 which is November 1958. A nice lamp made in Germany:thumbup: Matthias
Any chance to see a photo of the gold label? The year and crows foot are stamped correctly, compared to the two Vapalux 300 I have. Matthias
@Martin K. Very interesting how Coleman uses the cup clip above the cup, although not mentioning why. As the 247 runs on different kinds of fuel,...
@Michel Yes, this tape is working fine if a packing is not available. I used it successfully seceral times. Matthias
@Martin K. I have read your comment carefully, but I stay confused. How can this short piece of wire, when above the cup and sticking out of the...
Another Veritas is well saved, and as aptly remarked they are lamps of character. Nice collection btw:thumbup: Matthias

@Mike Logbeck Just read your question. My 1943 Vapalux 300 has the original decal, which measures 7,6 x 3,1 cm. I add two photos, hope it helps....
It's the result that counts:thumbup: Matthias
@Jean J Would you have joined in?:) @Bigstu That's a nice lamp, even without wine.:thumbup: Matthias
with the light of a Swiss Army Px 523/821 and a well tasting Spanish Reserva. Matthias[ATTACH]
A nice unknown lamp. But at least the hand wheel is a Petromax one. Are there any more markings? Matthias
This type of generator and a label on the lower cage rim do not appear on GDR post war lamps. It's most likely a pre war export of HASAG, so 1937...
@vissertw When restoring my Veritas 350 P I used the graphite tape from Fettle Box to wrap around the stem where it fits. This works great and no...
@Scott D I oversaw the hood is not marked. It should be stamped like the tank, with Px and made in Germany. The outer shape of the pressure gauge...
