Hi, A picture of the most 3 common Hipolito lanternes. These models aren't the most recent ones. From left to right; 150CP, 250CP and 350CP All made in Portugal - Hipolito factory in Torres Vedras, 50 kms north of Lisbon.
Very nice Collection of Hipolitos I usually dont see these with red/Black control-wheel - can you date them by box or papers? We usually have the black-wheeled Hipolitos here in Danmark. Claus C
Hi, The red/black knobs are present in the older models. Normally we seek these ones. There are also other details that I will describe in the next posts. The "Hipolito" manufacturer word written on it signs that it is original.
Hi Rui, and welcome aboard. Before you post any further details, could you please separate the lanterns and post each lantern for itself in a new topic for each model, thanks. (Please re-read the text in red on the first page of the reference gallery here.)
Nothing to apologize for Rui. Many people do this mistake, that's why I mentioned it in public rather than just sending you a PM. I see that you now have the posted, and it's an exemplary post for how we want things to be presented in the reference gallery. Thanks.
