    Good morning Friends!
    Got this Optimus No. 100 today, never seen it before.
    It has a height of 16 cm. and a diameter of 12.5 cm.

    I’ve never seen an Optimus 100 with that shaped tank.

    The riser looks odd as well - as if someone has replaced the original fittings with plumbing parts.

    Thank you Tony!
    It looks very original and very rare at the same time.
    It is nickel plated and the top of the tank is the same as the model No. 00.
    Cheers!

    I think you have seen Optimus 100 JUST like it (kinda)
    think pressure lamp

    I just now have seen an Optimus 100 lamp for 1st time over on CPL.
    I'd say that's a tank from an Optimus 100 lamp.

    Yes, a Optimus 100 lanterntank. If you can rebuild it to a lantern, you will have a great little lantern!!
