    Hi,
    I've been all over the web and this seems to be the place to ask, I've been clearing out a garage following the loss of a family member. I've found two Hipolito H-502 lanterns (chrome plated), both are in very good condition, although a little dusty I remember using the lanterns whilst fishing the beaches along the Norfolk coast, however I have no use for them these days and wondered where the best place to sell them would be, anybody got any ideas??
    Thankyou :?:

    No idea of price, but I'd be interested. Any photos of them Ashes? I'm getting the bug for them having part-restored my dad's old one.

    They are good well made lanterns which nearly always fettle to run well. Old ones kept in damp condirtions tend to have dull nickel plating but other than this they are all brass so survive well. The other big plus is they are exact copies of pre 1990 Petromax and modern P'Max parts fit. They always sell well on the Bay. ::Neil::
