Handi Keropet (May 1967; NOS; NIB)

Not my lantern, but worth showing.

Tony:
Best Handi I've ever seen. What mantle is that ?
Is that a new burner ? Thanks.
Paul.

 

A fine example.

I noticed that the words All British are stamped on the box, which seems odd for an Australian made lantern.

I guess the mantle is one originally fitted by Handi. It may have stretched over the years.

You ask “Is that a new burner”? It is is so far as it’s not been used; but if you mean not seen before, there are other examples of that burner in the Reference Gallery.

The allusion of “All British” on Handi products always amuses me somewhat. It’s a rather futile harking back to all that pink on maps of the world that I grew up with (pink for the “British Empire”).

A really nice Handi in far better condition than mine. A great lantern.

 

Goog grief it's even got it's original box! Astounding!

 

Very interesting as far as a nice dated example goes, a NIB with a chip in the enamel and a spirit tin that there can't be many around. Looks very clean. Thanks for the detailed and clear images.
