    Dated Feb 1952. I have really enjoyed fettling this one. Temporary bail formed of an old welding rod. I love the Esso "White Rose" paraffin label - I am young enough to have only ever kown Esso "Blue"

    @Fireexit1
    Does this type of lantern have date stamped at tank bottom or where did you see 1952 prod year?

    Ah, great.
    Pity, my Veritas lantern doesn't have such stamp on the rim.
