<p>[QUOTE="Ladybranch, post: 186280, member: 44"]I'm having trouble IDing the maker of this lamp and or burner. The thumbwheel seems to have "Record K & G Berlin." There are a couple of good websites showing thumbwheels of European makers. Neither of them has a K & G. The top of the burner has "Brenner" - the German word for burner. It has nothing to do with the manufacturer. </p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm" rel="nofollow">http://lumiara.perso.neuf.fr/lumiara/en/manuen.htm</a></p><p><a href="http://www.oldcopper.org/special_topics/oil_lamp_makers.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.oldcopper.org/special_topics/oil_lamp_makers.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.oldcopper.org/special_topics/oil_lamp_makers.php</a></p><p><br /></p><p>As to the type of burner, I'm not sure from the pics.
