    I believe I have one of these. But any info you supply to me would be great. Its not in great condition . I am try ing work if its worth my time re-furbishing it, as I dont really have too much use for it as it is. I gather it was made jan 1949 ? Its the one on the left

    The 237 is an excellent lantern and well worth fixing.

    I have had a reply in regards to selling them as is. I would like some opinions thoughts on this. As I have a fairly busy life at the moment and it doesnt include time out for such a project.

    We don’t do valuations here (rule) but they are very saleable.

    If you want to sell both you can post in the trading part of this forum, but you need 10 posts.

    Otherwise, eBay.

    Theres not a lot more in the way info that I can see on this lamp. But here re further images.The green enamel is fair, I guess my main issue is I do not know what the original finish was or is. It looks like its been painted with silver paint all over. The brown stuff wipes off with meths. The filler cap?? has had a hard time not a lot of hex left.
