Bialaddin 310 lantern NOS circa 1954-58

NOS in the box, funnel, mantle, meth can, and instructions. My favorite Bialaddin!
Ah, yes.. never lit!
One for the album, Gromit!

 

Pay no attention to that fool whose reflection is seen in lantern font!

 

Now that is an absolute cracker, George - perfectly set up as well with everything symmetrical. That is EXACTLY how these 310s left the factory!

If anyone's restoring a 310, THAT'S what they need to aim for - PERFECTION...

 

A lucky find!

 

Very nice sir, puts mine to shame and I thought I had a good one. The Chrome is most unusual as most appear to be a sort of mint green, it really sets it apart. Surely the colar and frame have been painted...just perfect, I with David on this one....perhaps we should have 'Lamp of the MONTH' or similar accolade.

All natural, no paint I can find. I don't know how the chrome ones match up the painted one, but I would think they are probably a little harder to find than the painted ones. I have a couple of painted ones, too. This is without a doubt my favorite Bialaddin lantern!

 

Wow @george
That‘s one beautiful lantern. Is this the one you’re saving for me?

Now, about your reflection in that super shiny fount ....... I’m glad that you are suitably attired, I don’t know if I could have survived the shock.

Cheers
Pete

 

Thank you for all the great comments. They are appreciated.
@AussiePete I at least wear an apron...especially when I fry bacon!

 

@george, just a small comment: please put something soft around the bail so it won't damaged the chrome tank.

 

@WimVe Like some plastic tubing maybe? Or "shrink tubing"?

 

Double shrink wrap..works.

 

@paparazi That's great! Thanks!
