I realize the photos are not the best. I will provide more within a couple of weeks (the lamp is not at home).
Hi. I recently found this lamp from Norwegian producer Høvik Verk. Model no. 102, probably from around 1935. It has not been fired (yet) - and...
Thanks @WimVe . Yes, I have the J-tube. The old brass burner holder is broken in the threads of the J-tube, so it will take some careful work to...
I used "brute force" - rotating flap sanding disk :-) and later applied penetrating oil to stop rust in the 'pits' of the tank.
I recently bought a challenging project. I am not sure it will ever shine again. The tank/fount is steel, and the lamp was very rusty in all...
I find another lamp, clearly a 52, with the same top (same hole pattern): Hasag 52 But the collar, filler cap and pump are different. So it also...
Hi, Tom For sure, my lamp might be a mix of parts. The cage is marked «52», so I expect that, at least, is frim a 52.
Hi. My most recent find. It is clearly a HASAG 52 lamp, and shows similarities to another lamp here in the gallerry, dated to the 1930’s. Could...
Thanks a lot @Martin K. - this answers several questions - I didn’t think it could be for gasoline, but now I know! Great operating instructions,...

Hi @JEFF JOHNSON - This is what I initially considered, but I'm not sure that I have the tools or skills to drill with sufficient presicion. Also,...
Yes, that may be an easy fix. I wonder if it will hold if the temperature rises too much during use of the lamp? On the other hand, this one will...
Hi. I have an old Bialaddin model 300X (1947-48?) with a broken rod in the cage. It is the upper, thin end which is broken, where it is attached...
Hi. I recently bought this lamp locally (near Narvik, Northern Norway), from a collector. His interest seemed to be in Petromax, though. I also...
Some photos. As you can see, the glass is Phöenix. And the top is clearly blue, find it unlikely that it was once red? [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Thank You, @M.Meijer for an immediate and comprehensive reply. Its very valuable to find such devoted experts in this forum :-) I am no expert,...
Hi. I have found this Bialaddin model 300X, which is in pretty good shape. On the picture, I have not cleaned it yet. I wonder about the date of...
