    It has the same control knob as the first Handi model Iron 1933-1934.

    The name Swift-Lite was also used on a Iron which followed the first model Iron. IMG20250723134538.jpg IMG20250723134707.jpg IMG20250723134735.jpg IMG20250723134806.jpg

    Hello Jeff.

    Thanks for the comment.

    I only scored this lantern a couple of weeks ago for $30 with a broken glass, lucky I had a spare for it.

    It is now the oldest Handi lantern in my collection as I do think it is the first version of the Australian made

    Handi SwiftLite Lanterns.

    Cheers Mark.
