    Nice old one as well. 797 is basically a model 836 800cp lamp but without a pump. It only appears in catalogues from 1926 to 1930 so is likely to be not very common. ::Neil::

    No pump means it is gravity or you use an external pump?

    External pump. The filler cap is adapted to take the connector of a bicycle pump.
