petromax 289 with unusual burner

Hi everyone.
I'm new here, although I've been checking in for a while.

I have a question for everyone: Has anyone seen a burner mechanism like this before?

Does anyone know how to attach the catalytic mesh to the burner?

Should this burner element be placed inside the catalytic mesh from the bottom?

I would appreciate your help.

Best regards.

Pozdrawiam

 

This is for a two-hole mantle.Petromax lanterns used by the westgerman federal border guard were frequently equipped with them.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Jak to uruchomić ?
W jaki sposób założyć siatkę ?

 

How can I get this working? How do I properly apply the grid? Is there a diagram or example lamp?

Thanks for the help with the lamp. Where can I buy this kind of netting, knotted on both sides? Does anyone have any for sale?

 

What year might this lamp be from? It has 2121 stamped on the bottom?

 

Hello Antar,

Hello Antar

"2121" stand for the 21st week of 1962, 1st day ( Monday )
This date code was originally discovered on a sheet of paper by Mr.Breidenstein,the owner of hytta.de .This so-called "60s code" is valid from 1961 through 1972.Petromax lanterns from 1971 and 1972 bear the same numbers as these from 1961 and 1962; however , there are distinguishing features-though identifying the year is very difficult for Petromax lanterns that lack the "Rapid" preheater.

 

The guy I bought it from claimed it was much, much older... I have a Petromax for the Bundeswehr from January 1960 and there are some differences, plus this one is heavier
