A beautiful Swedish lantern! It's hard to give her an exact age, but the control knob wheel is not yet plastic, nor Bakelite, but rather made of Pertinax or pressed cardboard. According to the remarks of Nils Stephenson, a great Radius specialist on CPL, it should correspond to the years 1930-1940. It seems that this lamp is rather rare, maybe less so than the 106. In any case, it is in remarkable condition, and after cleaning and restoration (NRV, pump gasket) it appears to be in perfect working order; I was surprised by the attention to detail, even on the nozzle, engraved "103"! No possible mistake... The color of the lampshade is difficult to define: at first glance, one might think it is black, but it is rather midnight blue; if anyone knows the answer... All that remains is to light it, which I often hesitate to do after all this time spent restoring it to like-new condition. A pleasure for the eyes...
