Petromax 523

As received. Replaced NRV pip and pump leather. Not fettled yet.

My score of the year.

 

Wow, what a find!
That is so complete and a true time capsule, the stuff dreams are made of.

 

This is a perfect find.
The box, lamp,operating instructions and wearing parts set belong together.The operating instructions were printed in July 1960.I can see that it was made in Altena/West-Germany.on the underside of the pressure vessel you will find an indistinct scratch.It could look like this: 7/60

 

A very lucky find indeed!

 

Thanks Jono and Jeff.

Reinhard i could not find any markings on the bottom but i have not cleaned up the lantern yet

 

Ooo...nice
So complete it is.
A printing of the unmistakable Altena factory outline on the operating instructings too.

 

Congratulations
