You are not alone. I pretty used the same equipment plus an oxy-acetylene torch to fashion a whole cleaning needle for a Coleman lantern. I used a...
You have been very fortunate to find a Petromax R823. I'm not too sure but it might have been a very early model that was not produced in great...
Welcome to the forum @Denis Hughes The information you have would be of great interest to many, particularly collectors of Handi and AGM...
Most collectors would gladly restore it. Original old stock parts might be hard to come by. As long as the fount's intergrity is still good, the...
Reference is also available in the Lamp Reference Gallery on this site: Lanterns
Judging by the characteristic diamond-shaped punched out holes on the frame collar and hood in combination with a squarish valve knob, the lantern...
A well-fettled lantern, with some presumably quality upgrades along the the way too.:thumbup: I believe sometimes there might even be a higher...
The Coleman looks great, matching close in colour with the flower. The Anemone is just as pretty. I hope all goes well. Whether it is due to...
These are relics from British colonization during the 19th and earlier half of the 20th century. There are only a handful left standing. They've...
Thank you Jeff. Unfortunately, I'm not a subscriber and therefore have no access to the above link.
I'td be great to have clearer pictures of the exact lamps in the above photoshot. I've recently taken a few photos of some Kitson street lamps...
@Tony Press Thank you for affirmation that they could still work at the Antartica. Would be interesting to know what were the ambient...
I suspect even that might pose quite a challenge, if its taken that the Antartica region has a mean or average ambient temperature of -40°C to...
I'm not too sure about this. I've not been seeing that many being found in my location (formerly Malaya). Nevertheless, it has been quite a while...
I had many such small parts that were lost in that way and never found. Some turned up at unexpected places, but usually long after I've totally...
Not with the double mantle 2 x 500cp HC lantern. I literally mean comparing the supposedly stated output ratings of the Petromax 500HK and the...
Those valves and fittings on the HC seem to be made with similar constructional built as oil-hydraulic parts used in industrial fluid power...
The Petromax 500HK lanterns like the 829 and 523 should have orifices with around 0.24mm or 0.00945" in diameter. Not much difference in orifice...
Thank you @Pancho Just like what I would expect. It is just slightly larger than a regular 500cp gas tip for both kero and gasoline. At 30psi...
Thank you @Henry Plews So it still needs some activation/stimulation by ultraviolet radiation. Wonder if the glass' thermal coefficoent of...
