Petromax 828 with bakelite Rapid handle

Hi,

I came across an interesting Petromax 828 with a Rapid burner on an online sale. It has a bakelite lever on the Rapid burner, something which I hadn't seen before. Does anyone have an idea from which years this might be from? It's still no doubt an original Germany manufactured model I presume? Is it a later model, 70's or 80's? The seller is asking 50 euros for it.

Any advise would be welcome, many thanks.

Hey Andy, many thanks

Contrary to my assumption which was the later decades, you say it's probably from an earlier time, provided that all parts are original. Seem like a good investment to me, I think I'll try to get in touch with the seller...
