Description :

A complete Petromax Rapid 827/250 CP pressure lantern set, produced in Germany during the mid‑20th century, most commonly attributed to the 1950s–1970s period when Petromax was manufacturing high‑output kerosene pressure lamps for global export. This example retains its nickel‑plated brass construction, glass globe, and full Rapid preheater system, and is accompanied by its original box and multilingual documentation.

The lot includes:

  • Petromax Rapid 827/250 CP lantern

  • Original Petromax box with matching model designation

  • German technical diagram sheet

  • Multilingual operating instructions

  • Esso petroleum information sheet

  • “Very Important” multilingual safety sheet

  • Mantle packet and accessory papers

Manufacturing Period: The Petromax 827 series was produced primarily from the post‑war era through the 1970s. The presence of multilingual manuals, Esso petroleum literature, and the Rapid preheater system aligns this example with mid‑century production, a period known for high‑quality German engineering and widespread international distribution.

Technical Specifications:

  • Model: Petromax Rapid 827

  • Light Output: 250 CP (Candlepower)

  • Fuel: Kerosene/paraffin

  • Construction: Nickel‑plated brass body with glass globe

  • Ignition: Rapid preheater system

  • Pressure‑fed mantle lantern design

Condition Notes: Lantern shows light surface wear consistent with age and storage. Box and papers exhibit expected toning and handling wear. A well‑preserved, complete example suitable for collectors of German engineering, industrial design, or vintage outdoor lighting.
