That it is. I got my first 829B in 2014 and it started there. Must have one of the largest collections of Petromax in the country if not the...
Sounds like you are talking about a Tilley:lol:
Or maybe the other way around;)
Pictures of the 523 as well when ya have them...
Hallo Johan. I'd be happy taking a bet on that and calling it a Hipolito. The color of the eccentric wheel is a good indicator. Keep us updated,...
Bundeswehr lanterns don't have date codes, only civilian models and Civil Defense

So here are a few extra photos. On the base of the tank, it appears the 240 is lightly scrapped into it. [ATTACH] DRP is stamped underneath the...
New custodian for this wee Petromax lantern and I'm eager to determine it's age. G&E is stamped in the logo on the tank and 823 300HK on the cage...
