    This is my lamp. Like the Ditmar 541, this one came from Uruguay and arrived with the globe broken, but in this case the seller forgot to send the top so I bought a complete lamp and received just a tank and a burner...Later the seller sent the top and now I need a globe. This one is the first attemtp to reproduce from a spherical globe of electrical origin but with a poor result.

    You should be glad for that, Juan, The top is much harder to find than a globe. By some reason they always disappear when a globe cracks.

    But I have positive news. We are working on getting some replication globes made here in Sweden. We have the mold and are discussing with a small local glass producer.
    So be patient, hopefully new globes are available later this year.

    I finally found a reproduction globe from Thailand.

    A little bit disappointed because it was expensive, 200 US$ total, and when I tried to put it on the lamp, it didn't fit because it's too tight on the base
    I had to "work" on the collar to make it fit.
    Anyway, the lamp has a better globe nos
