    It is impossible for us to tell.
    For me, I would have bought it at an instant for just 40 dollars, but I don't know how much 40 dollars is for you.
    It is all about domestic economics.
    40 dollars for me is very roughly about what I get payed for an hour of work.
    In some countries that would be what you get for a full day, and in others what you get for a quarter of an hour.

    And then it also is a matter of what you get for those well earned dollars...
    For the equivalent of 40 dollars here, I get a pretty decent meal for me and the lass at a not too shabby restaurant, and I would not think that a nice Optimus like that would be over-priced compared to a good meal for two persons.

    Oh, well. That's just one way to see it.

    So, what do you get for 40 dollars in your country otherwise?
    That's the only way for us to understand what that amount really means in your part of the world.
    Cheap for some, expensive for others...

    Looking at the handwheel my guess is Optimus-Coleman like ColeMax > Coleman Petromax.

    @Carlsson , when I go to page 3 of this topic at the end, I am on page 2 ?

    Hello
    Quite right, you are a man of the nose
    First of all I would say that I bought the lamp for 500,000 USD
    And for your better understanding I can tell you that my monthly salary is 3 million tomans
    Until last year, the dollar was cheap in Iran
    And 500 thousand tomans would be $ 180 and the same value of the dollar that comes from selling Iranian oil
    And that made foreign goods available at a reasonable price
    But with the departure of the United States from the brunt of sanctions and the departure of foreign companies, the dollar has suddenly risen.
    And every 500,000 tomans cost about $ 40 and foreign goods became very expensive
    At once the price of cars and motorcycles went up
    But the old lights were not as expensive as everyone would buy, so the old hand tools and I tried to buy more
    Finally, one day these prices will balance with other commodities and the dollar will fall again because Iran will gain a lot of dollars by selling oil.

    Friends bought the Epic Lamp
    As dear carlsson and other friends rightly said, opico was a subset of Optimus and was produced in Iran.
    Above is a picture of both the English and Persian manuals of Optimus Iran and the address and telephone above.
    I think opico stands for optimus iran co
    In the past and before the Iranian Revolution, about 40 years ago, most of the world-famous companies represented Iran and manufactured in Iran.
    There really is a flashlight
    When I think about it 50 years ago this company was opened and it was a modern and new company
    When I read the address on the notebook that now that building might be ruined
    The person who bought this lamp with a thousand hopes now for what reason he couldn't use it and stayed shut.
    I'm really emotional

    Hello friends
    I bought this Optimus lamp today
    This type of lantern lights in Iran once came to market in a deserted warehouse and was once sold.
    I had bought your purse before, but I had sold one of these gold lamps, but I get this range in factory chrome color
    Superb accessories and cartons
    It's really lucky to get this antique, special, old item after so many years.

    Hello
    I bought another Epic Lamp on Carton by Optimus Iran
    The back of the carton was very nostalgic

    Gift to the warriors of Islam
    For the 1979-1988 period, when Iran fought Iraq, and for eight years of constant and terrible war, the whole world was helping Saddam Hussein and even using Saddam Hussein's chemical bombs and weapons of mass destruction, but no country offered sanctions or warnings.
    Years after the Iran-Iraq war, the new world was remembered by Saddam's weapons of mass destruction

    Hi friends
    I haven't been to the site for some time
    But today i bought an aida iran lamp that i said to show you
    As you know, aida is a German brand, but in the past during the reign of Shah Erad in the 60's and 70's it was represented in Iran and was made in Iran with high quality German appliances.

    Nice lantern.
    Can you find out which company made them and maybe investigate the amount they made, which German company was involved, anything on markings, amounts, prospects etc.
    Maybe even drawings or manufacturing pictures.

    hello again .
    these lights were after the iranian revolution and prior to 2005 that iran 's relations with western and european countries were good and most european companies represented in iran .
    on the lamp box in the photo above , the word aida in iran is written in persian .
    after the revolution , all western companies left iran for anti - western and anti - capitalist policies .
    about these companies and iranian investors representing western brands is not information because they migrated from iran after the revolution .
    these lights have a good quality and are made entirely of brass .
    but with the lamps of the main sample of aida , which has been produced in germany , there are differences , for example , on the grade of german lights that the word was hacked , or over the warhead and the german lamp .
    i have a few lamps in aida that have a better quality
