Hugo Schneider Aktiengesellschaft, Leipzig, Germany, made the HASAG brand.

This HASAG Model 61 hanging lamp, in Kenny Connolly's collection,

has a lantern head so could have been used for outside lighting.

This is a 180-365cp lamp, according to Neil McRae,

that is pressurized with a separate pump at a fitting on the top of the fount.

The lamp can be operated with either white gas or kerosene.


The only known example of an Apex lamp, manufactured in South Africa,

most probably by Johannesburg Metal Pressings.

This nominally 400 cp double mantle lamp, Model 400?,

may date to the 1950's.

It is unusual in having an open-top ventilator.

This is in Alan Ford's collection.


These two lamps, in Albert White's collection in Australia,

have similar parts to a Kerona heater in Dane Gernecke's collection in New Zealand.

One of these lamps is only stamped with two Australian patents,

while the other lamp is stamped Kerona, a New Zealand company.

Neil McRae notes that this is the earliest known use of the Preston burner and generator.

It is Neil's opinion that Kerona made the lamps and used the Preston patents in doing so.


Another UK company, Kitson Empire Lighting Co., Ltd.,

made this unknown model table lamp (left).

The air tube in the burner image (right) has a ring of 12 small holes

around the bulbous base connection to the handle

which allow air into the system.

This lamp is in Jeff Johnson's collection.


Kitson Model K.D. 1 is likely an earlier model than the kitson lamp above.

It was made in Stamford, England circa 1920,

according to Kenny Connolly, whose collection this is in.

Neil McRae notes that this lamp is a 100 to 200 cp kerosene model.


The Kitson Empire Lighting Co., Stamford, England, also made this model KD4 donut lamp.

Neil McRae, whose collection this is in, believes it dates to around WWI.

Seen here running in the right image, it is a 300cp model in Neil's opinion.

The lamp is missing the top cover for the burner and the shut off valve wheel in the right image.

Similar models of this lamp have four arms rather than two.

Kitson also made Model A, a 600 cp kerosene outdoor donut lamp.

This steel lamp, in Neil McRae's collection,

is seen here in a composite image (left and center) and running (right).

Kitson also made a 300 cp and a 1200 cp model

in this series of outdoor lamps.


The Kayen table lamp, Model HL7, burned kerosene and was rated at 300 cp.

Kayen pressure lamps were made in Sydney and Melbourne

by W. Kopsen & Co. and T.S. Nettlefold & Sons Pty Ltd. respectively between 1945 and circa 1955.

They were finished mainly in lacquered polished brass.

The globe in the image on the left, in Jim Dick's collection, is not original.

The lamp on the right, in Neil McRae's collection,

has a shade that is most likely old Tilley stock

that was used by Kopsen on their lamps in the late 40's.


This is a Kayen Model AP2, an all-purpose hanging lamp (reflector on),

table lamp (wire hanger and reflector off), or lantern (reflector off).

This 300 cp kerosene model is in Jim Dick's collection.

The AP2 was very popular in Australia from the mid 1940's to the mid '50's.

Jim has polished the uncommon copper fount for show purposes.

Usually the founts were brass, polished, and clear lacquered


Gebrüder Lauterbach, Berlin, Germany,

made this Marla brand gravity fed alcohol lamp

which was first advertised in 1910.

This lamp, in Walter van Gulik's collection,

includes a tool (left) that he believes

was used for cleaning the vapouriser.


This Match-O-Lite lamp was made

by the Powerlight Co., Winnipeg, Canada.

The fount is a Nagel-Chase circa 1912-1920 with a riveted base plate.

The burner is unique to this model, however.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.


Two other models sold by the Powerlight Co. of Winnipeg

were made by Nagel-Chase in Chicago (left)

but this was a torch-lit model that is missing the burners

and made by the Perfection Vapor Co, Freeport, IL (right).

This lamp is missing the generator and burner assembly.

Both of these lamps are badged Powerlight Co. Winnipeg.


Hugo Schneider Aktiengesellschaft, Leipzig, Germany,

manufactured this Hasag Polar, Model 5A, 500 cp kerosene lamp.

It 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!


The label on this inverted lamp is in Chinese

and says Shanghai Metal (factory).

It also says 300W in English.

This lamp is in Will Nelle's collection.


Two views of a Hasag Model 56 lamp.

This lamp has not been used;

it probably came with a shade but that has been lost.

Neil McRae compared it with catalogue descriptions

to guess the model number.

This lamp is in Henry Plew's collection; image by N. McRae.


This donut lamp appears to be Model 175 made by Standard Licht Gesellschaft m.b. H.

in either Germany or Switzerland.

This lamp, in Kenny Connolly's collection, was restored by him.

Neil McRae notes that this 400cp kerosene model is about 53cm in height.


This Standard inverted lamp, in Walter van Gulik's collection, is Model 590.

It has a steel fount and requires a separate pump to pressurize.

It is labeled Standard Petrolux, Timisoara (4th largest city in Romania),

on the underside of the reflector.

A fuel level indicator can be seen on the side of the fount.

Neil McRae notes that this is a 300 CP kerosene model.


Standard Licht also made this model 2076 lamp.

This kerosene lamp has an alcohol preheating cup.

The fount decal reads: Starklicht - Otte = Bochum;

Otte Bochum may be the distributor, according to Christian Hardt,

whose collection this is in.


This is an American Gas Machine (Albert Lea, Minnesota, USA) pendant lamp

made for and badged Stanleys (Stratford) Ltd, London, England.

The lamp is specially made from a Model 69 hollow wire

joined to an inverted pendant fount so it would be catalogued as AGM P69,

according to Neil McRae, who photographed this lamp in John Kidger's collection.


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

The fount is pressurized with a bicycle pump; the burner housing and reflector are aluminum.

The cleaning needle is actuated by screwing the top bolt in (and out);

the needle likely had a removable key, according to Neil McRae.

Henry Plews, whose collection this is in, says that the lamp is balanced when hanging

by sliding the hanging piece on the crossbar.


Unic-Lumière also made this Model 3 table lamp

which is another 400cp gasoline model as Model 9 above.

The fount is polished brass and the lamp head is green enamel.

This lamp is also in Henry Plew's collection.


Neil McRae has this harp pendant lamp in his collection.

The manufacturer is unknown but possibly German.

The lamp is from Peru and has suffered some modification.

This is the 1000th image on the website and was added on May 12, 2006.


This is a Ditmar Maxim Model 535. Probably 200 cp.

It was made in Wien, Austria

by Vereunigte

Emaillierwerke Lampen und Metallwarenfabriken Aktiengesellschaft.

 It may date from the 30s.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.


This 61cm tall lamp is stamped Volcan Model 400

and was made by Volcan Industria Argentina.

Neil McRae found that the lamp had been electrified,

and because of damage to several parts

he may never be able to restore it to running condition.


The Welsbach Light Co. Ltd., London,

made this Model M3008 lamp in the 1920's.

This lamp is in Neil McRae's collection.

It is a 300cp kerosene burning lamp

that Neil notes is in the style

of early Tilley and Blanchard lamps of that period.


Willis & Bates, UK, made these Bialaddin T10 table lamps

for Aladdin Industries, another UK company.

The Model T10 was always painted cream with a chrome trim.

Neil McRae, who collection these are in,

doesn't know which variation seen here was produced earlier

but the model was produced from the mid '50's until circa 1966.


Bialaddin Model T20

was only made for a year or so circa 1967-8,

in a painted (left) and chrome version (right).

Both the T10 above and T20 models here are 300 cp kerosene lamps.

These are also in Neil McRae's collection.
