    Hi all,

    This is one of my two examples of the Nulite 110 M lamp. The 100 M lamp was a development of the torch lighting 110 lamp into a match lighting lamp. The first match lighting generator for this lamp model was a coiled generator, very much like the Q99, but with a conical connector. My lamp has the coiled match lighting generator and a burner supported by a steel rod. Shallow fount with a angled straight air tube.

    I'm not sure is this is the first or second version of the Nulite 110M. In a catalogue pre 1920 of Neil Mc Rae, there is a 110M lamp with a higher fount and a burner with the coiled match lighting generator, supported by an air tube (very much like the Akron 102 ).

    Later in the 20,s there was a third version of the 110 M lamp, now with a flat square burner supporting section, curved air tube and now also with a new generator, the "umbrella" inverted cup generator. A patent for that lamp was filed in first of November 1920, patent granted June 3rd 1924 (which is stamped on the inverted cup of the generator).

    My lamp came in a used condition, a bit poor plating and a battered coiled generator. Cleaned up nicely though and with the original pretzel shade it is on of the nicest looking table lamps in my opinion.

    Conny, you lucky devil I have been hunting around for a shade for the lamp I posted here on 1 November. Probably never find one but I can dream!
