    I've done it again. The love of lanterns have made me gamble once more.

    From left to right:

    A Coleman 249D less glass, preheat cup, ball-nut and bail. It sports a hood with no trace of enamel.

    Next we have a globeless 241G, an early 1960 model with a dented and creased fount. It does however have potential to be the star of the piggy trio.

    Lastly.... I honestly do not know what this is. The remnants of a Frankie lamp perhaps? I have not found one letter of identification yet.

    Despite my self-flagellation, I am looking forward to the challenging fettles. (at least the first two)

    Wow James, Thanks for the quick identification. My incomete lamp does indeed match the Petromax 833.
    Now the challenge of restoring it will be an epic journey, and I will need a log of help and advice along the way.
