My uncle passed away and this was part of his collection of antques. I don't know much about it - happy to hear any comments? It is missing the shade and handle.
Hi Manno, that's a nice example of the Kaye AP2, they are a very nice Lantern and run nice and bright. The enamel top looks in fairly good shape, I can't help you with the shade they are hard to come by but I can help you with the handle if you would like. Just send me a PM, cheers Frank
Nice one mate, yes you are correct it's a Kayen AP2 and as you stated it's just missing the bail and reflector. Also a new set of seal's and a mantle, and she should fire up straight away, if the vaporiser is in good condition. As @outback boy also stated, the reflectors are very hard to find. I would be very careful with that Tilley globe, even though it's cracked. That's a very early Tilley globe and are hard to come across. I would replace with an aftermarket globe and put that away, in a safe place.
Wekcome, @Manno. That’s a nice example. It should restore very well. I, too, advise you to put the globe in a safe place, and use a new one. Cheers Tony
@Manno Hello there and welcome to the group, follow the wise instructions from the above fellas they know what they are talking about. I have a reflector for you message me
That is a fine example of KP2 same as the one I have hanging here in the kitchen. Mine is my blackout light and indeed a week ago had a powerbox fault and was without power for two nights. Certainly was handy. TW Sands in Melbourne have globes, parts etc.
