The two lanterns on the outside are all steel, the center one is all brass/copper. They are as found, I only washed them down with warm soapy water.
One of these is hard enough to come by let alone three. I do keep an eye out here in New Zealand but have not yet seen any. They look very well made. I see a mantle on one, how do they run?
@David Cully Hello David, they run great just like a Austamax It took me 25 years to find these 3. @Darryl Durdin has a nice line up of 6 of them. The greedy bugger has done very well finding them. Cheers Marko.
@Tony Press Hello Tony, they are as found with the glasses in them. It's not untill you get them side by side do you see most of the parts are different to each other. Mine have 3 different hood nuts, Different Hoods, Glass surport plate, Casting from tank to burner, Control knobs, Gland nuts ever the skirt on the bottom of the tank. Darryl has 5 different control knobs on his 6 lanterns. Cheers Marko.
@David Cully Hello David I fired my old Collins Brothers up today, runs quiet as. Just needs a need pump bucket. Cheers Marko
@Marko57 as we mentioned before. The most basic thing that the Collins brothers radiant Star have the same in common is the bales. @Tony Press @David Cully
I got it wrong with my first comment, the lantern on the left has a platted brass tank with a metal base plate. 3 different pump tubes in tank - 3 different pumps - 2 different NRVs - 3 different hood nuts.
@Marko57 @Tony Press , the valve burner castings are different as well, now I won’t be able to sleep until I go through mine with a bit more details for the lantern gallery. I know that one of mine has a ball bearing type NRV.
