    Had some problems getting it apart with bolts being stuck a some corrosion on the metal work.
    I repainted the tank as much of the paint was gone.

    Well done :thumbup::thumbup:

    Based on the English words "pressure gauge" and the scale,I can see that the lamp was intended for export to a presumably English-speaking country.
    The lock for the pump suggets that it is a pre-war lamp.
