Diamond Lamp no. 107, Benzyny, 300 cp, USA, rok 1927-1930
I just got lucky finding this American lamp very cheap here in Danmark - juhu
![]() These lamps are sometimes called "Dickie-lamps" and the name should have something to do with the pump sticking out ![]() There is not many signs that shows the name Akron, just the control-wheel and the tanklid. No prints anywhere else. This one use gasoline and inside the tank, the pump has a tube that goes over fuel-level as a simple effective security. Later Akron made the lamp with the pump inside the tank. The S-shaped generator is filled with a mesh to prevent backlash and maintain stabile pressure. Again simple and effective. The plating is very thin so I only clean the lamp in soapwater - no citric acid water. I was very fortunate to get the lamp with all original parts and even 2 mantles was still sitting at their place. Mikolaj |

Congratulations Mikołaj, nice lamp.
I see a lot of technical similarities or solutions with Coleman lamps from that time. You are lucky guy, lamp has nice and in very good shape original Mika globe. |

Thanks Bury, I also almost cant get my arms down and I am happy that I dont have to look for spareparts - that would be difficult. Yes I agree with you, this lamp looks like the early Coleman.
It should be possible to light it with a match - maybe a large match :O) As you can see on the photo then the globe carry some black paint stains ![]() A little more photos. |
