They’re putting out a great light. I still remember getting a wopping from Dad for playing on the Hills hoist ....... that was about along time ago.
The Aladdin 1A's are a great workhorse of a lantern. Looks good Darryl! P.S. I like you're low maintenance lawn .
Pete My cousin and I broke Auntie Pauline and Uncle Bruce’s Hills Hoist using it as a merry-go-round... Tony @AussiePete
@Tony Press how many Hills hoists do you reckon were broken or have a permanent list caused by us kids?
I know me and my brothers and cousins did a few in, one on each arm and around and around. It was alright when we were kids but when your in ya 20, 30's, we were a bit heavy but they did take a beating.
Those and other clothes Lines were prohibited by municipal zoning codes in the neighborhood I grew up in in the 1970s. so I never had the opportunity to play on one LOL. This also meant that wooden clothes pins were a novelty in my youth. I had to borrow a couple from my grandmothers house so that my brother and I could put playing cards on our bike spokes.
@Chip Packard As a lad my father used a wing nutted clamp to hold a piece of formica in place. You could here me a street away! Regards Jeremy
