Local auction lot buy.

Scored at a local auction. Looks like the lot was fresh out of a long time barn /storage someplace. The big one should be a fun project and nothing wrong with the Porkpie either that a new glass won't fix. Other than the damaged mica panels it looks to be in fine solid shape. I gather it's a SEATTLE HYDRO-CARBON poultry lantern. '

 

Nice.
Is the porkpie the long or short handle/bail version?

 

Well done nice selection of stuff there

 

I like those quirky, special, big tank lamps.
Did they operate at normal lantern pressure or how did they keep on pressure over time?

 

Nice haul!

 

Yes - definitley worth the trip - all interesting lanterns

 

Happy fettling!

 

The 169(?) looks to be in OK condition. A great haul!

 

Was excited to see the PORKPIE. My first so not sure if it is the long or short handled one. Regardless it looks to be in fine nick. Already have a new glass for it. Just a matter of finding some fettling time.

 

Looks like you did well for yourself.
Congratulations mate, fun times a head enjoy.

 

Great haul!

Alec.
