I put this lamp on display with a few other old lanterns in our outdoor store in Michigan. My wife insisted I put a price on it, as that is the...
The lamp shade is 14 inches in diameter at it's widest, and about 8.5 inches tall. Sorry for the slow response. [ATTACH]
Finally fettled. You were right, easiest ever! [ATTACH]
I know there are many who look at this and start reaching for the Brasso, but truly this is way too beautiful of a patina to ever touch. Will get...
I managed to find an old shade. Got the lamp started, and it seems to run well after a fresh generator. The valve does not seem to seal closed,...
...and yes, the pair of cabinets was made just for this display. I have a cabinet-maker friend who did a great job on them.
The Arc Lantern in the cabinet is the same one from me posted on this website. (The one with the rusted through bottom--which I decided to leave...
Had to post the Radius 119 running in the snow, in spite of there being many of these already on this page. [ATTACH]
The Mini Museum is complete! The pressure lamp section of this outdoor museum is set up in our store in Traverse City, Michigan. This occasional...
Thanks for the reference--super helpful actually! I have yet to cut into it--all the responses to my post have given me pause--I may actually try...
Lots of great information here and some prudent cautions. If I do cut into the bottom, even just to see the inside and assess the job ahead, I...

You mean I can get my mica globes, my base plate fixed AND my MGB restored in Ohio? (I live in southern Michigan...) This could be the single...
I viewed the pictures on your other post, but could you explain... did you solder over some portion of the original bottom plate, or remove and...
Although I'm happy to have this Arc Lantern for the collection, I admit that it is not the best example. It's missing some parts, such as the...
All I did was wipe it down with a damp cloth! I haven't lit it yet, but it feels good--pumps up, holds pressure, valve feels positive, hisses--I...
This is my new 139, my first indoor Coleman lamp. I'll need to find a parchment shade for it, but it is in great shape. There's a "1 5" on the...
How did you know the size of the bail and handle? I need to make a set for a new purchase and was wondering if it is possible to estimate the...
The hardest part of saving the globe frame is re-opening the folded metal parts without cracking or bending. I slid a dulled craft knife blade...
Having changed the mica, I can definitely recommend a Fred K globe...
