    Hi fellas, I haven’t had this Ditmar 505 going for a couple of years. Fresh kerosene, fuel cap seal, oil the pump cup. Check the jet and Pricker. Then away it goes. It’s very cool. IMG_2685.jpeg IMG_2684.jpeg

    Very cool, Darryl. Especially with the original glass cylinder! I have not seen one of these with this big logo over here in Europe, although I have collected lots of Ditmar lanterns (I like Austria very much).

    I didn't know glass like this existed.
    I've never seen anything like it before either.

    I love Ditmar, so I'm very envious of you.:clap:
