    Since I can't fettle anything until the doc finishes fettling my hand I'm stuck just buying. This Petromax was part of a small job lot I picked up today. Made in Germany on the vent and fount. Brown plastic pump knob. Stamped 2851 center bottom of fount. Any ideas on date and any tips about restoration (specific to Petromax) greatly appreciated.

    That is a fine high-quality german-made Petromax 829 and should clean up very well in soapwater or with just a little citric-acid in some water.
    This lamp send out a serious strong white light.
    All spares is still available and it is very cheap in spares too. You can have them shipped from Hytta.de, Stuga-cabana, internetshops.
