An earlier version of this lamp, in Stefan Sindlinger's collection,

has the valve on top of the tank rather than on the fuel line as on later production.

This Hasag Polar, Model 5A, 500 cp kerosene lamp.
strongly resembles the Petromax inverted lamp model.
This one may be pre-WW II or from the '50s.
The lamp is in the collection of Neil McRae, who found another one of this model
that had been stripped of its identifying marks by its shop owner in WW II London,
so that he wouldn't lose trade!

such as this Model 1356 in Conny Carlsson's collection.

Conny believes this model dates to the 1920's - 30's.

Hugo Schneider Aktiengesellschaft also made this No. 2

alcohol mantle lamp that is in Erik Leger's collection.

Ludwig Gebauer has calculated that this style burner develops 5-10 mbar when it is running.

A lever on the front side of the burner pumps fuel for preheating

and the red lever on the upper right of the burner operates

the main valve to carry vaporized fuel up to the nozzle.

The label on this inverted lamp is in Chinese

that can be dated by the writing to the 1940's - 50's.

It says "731 Type 300 W Hanging Gas Lantern"

"Global Trademark"

and "Shanghai Qinfen Metal Products Factory" (from Bo Keller).

This lamp is in Will Nelle's collection.

This is an American Gas Machine (Albert Lea, Minnesota, USA) pendant lamp
made for and badged Stanleys (Stratford) Ltd, London, England.

Unic-Lumière, Paris, France made this Model 9 gasoline hanging or wall lamp.
