Help about an unknown lamp please

    Good evening,


    First, Well done for your superb web site who is the reference !


    Indeed, I am a french speleo and I collect also theses lamps !


    I am interested by the carbid lamps of any type (car/moto/mine/...) and of all manufacters.... and I contact you because I have a new carbide Lamp (attached pictures)... and I would like to know the nationality about this lamp ? Could you help me please because, this lamp is a mystery at present !


    Thanks a lot in advance.


    I am thus only interested by the catalogues of manufacturing or advertising executive relating to lighting with acetylene and I'm ready to make exchange !


    With the pleasure of reading you.


    Best regards


    Oim

    Bonjour Oim,


    Welcome here :welcome:


    I think, your Lamp is made by Mercier, Nancy in France, because those hold the Star-Trademark.


    I found out that in the Suisse-museale-PDF, you will find when you search google for:


    "Katalog der Lampen und Laternen
    in der Sammlung des Schweizer Armeemuseums"


    I could also offer to you a PDF with a historic catalouge from
    "Albert Boutin Lamps from 1925"


    Best regards, Björn

    Thx Björn, but I think it is not a Mercier becasue there are only 7 lamps from Mercier & sons :
