    Hi fellas, I pricked up this Veritas Hibernia wick lanterns, dose anyone know much about them, I’ve cleaned it up well enough to use, I filled it with citronella to help keep the mozzies at bay. E594EBD3-D540-49BF-8446-64E163DB9AF8.jpeg C369F8E5-8F12-4B3B-BF23-91876776B316.jpeg

    @Walkop , it was unusual very rusty and dirty, looks similar to the German fireinhand, I use citronella oil in it and let it burn a bit rich, looks cool and keeps the mozzies at bay, the label is brass, the wick burner and shroud are brass and the fuel cap, I like to restore all different types of lanterns and lamps

    @george
    Here’s a wick lamp I restored.
    I believe it’s called a student’s lamp

    I don’t know much about it, no name or markings
