Whith the arival of a unknown lantern and a table lamp from france a new chapter on french pressure lighting was opened.

The table lamp had a "succes" burner head.
(Bec) Succes is a Culmen burner a brand of Louis Compain et Cie Paris. By 1932 this company had changed name or ownership to become Guenet & Abbat who also sold lamps with Bec Success. They also show the same type of pump on a couple of heaters.
Via www.depatisnet.de , I have done some patent search on this name (Guenet & Abbat) and found 39 patents.
Interesting altough is that all the patents I found are on name of Guenet & Abbat, and before 1932 ! Here under is a short list of the more interesting, lamp related, items I found:
