I just purchased a Radius 102 off of Ebay. Can I get an opinion from other collectors of this lantern. Also it says RA Radius 102 on the fount. What does the RA stand for?? The last photo you will see the RA Radius 102...
It looks like a Petronax 821 or an Optimus 200, except for other minor details and it has a fuel level gauge instead of a pressure gauge. Its Swedish. No idea about the 'RA', never seen a Radius with an extra RA. I'm guessing some stamping error..perhaps. Other members would likely know better.
Looks like a well used 102 from the late 1930s. It has had the hood replaced with a Petromax item at some stage. No idea what the extra RA could mean.
Is anyone aware of the Radius 102 came in brass instead of nickel att any point in their production ?
To the best of my knowledge they were always nickel plated. There is no guarantee this is right though.
