International lamp manufacturers G - Z
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

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 c.
1955.
They were finished mainly
in laquered 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-laquered.
Gebrüder Lauterbach,
Berlin, Germany,
made this Marla brand gravity
fed alcohol lamp
which was first advertised
in 1910.

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.

used;
it probably came with a

on the underside of the

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

gasoline model as Model 9 above.
The fount is polished brass
and the lamp head is green enamel.

Plew's collection.

This 61cm tall lamp is

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.

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 c. 1966.
Bialaddin Model T20
was only made for a year
or so c. 1967-8,
