    Found this Sun Flame 110 300CP lantern at a market this Easter weekend still in its box.
    Some corrosion to deal with a but once I start restoring it will hopefully work. Feels good on the controls so holding thumbs.
    Anyone out there got the same lamp and want to share experience?

    Very nice find Willem, I had one of these years ago; they roar when they are burning. As always be careful with the small nuts that hold the cage; they are easily broken.

    @Willem these are great runners, but should be checked closely for stress cracks on the fount. I've converted most of my early AGMs to Coleman founts for that reason. Look forward to the finished product! Happy fettling :thumbup:

    Great lamp. Well made and reliable.
    One of those ones that takes a big mantle and a bit more pressure.
