@Derek My grandfather collected these wickies. I got many of his. Don’t know much about them though. My official guess on your lantern is 1895-1905.
Hahah. He wanted to join the party
Hey all! Been so long since I’ve been here. Feels weird. Figured you guys might appreciate the photos I took of a few of my wickies earlier this...
How interesting. The nut is indeed tight. The control shaft used to *barely* drip kero. I put the graphite tape stuff in there and it stopped...
Hmm. Well, it used to seal. I didn’t take it apart or anything. Seems kinda dumb that it would just start or something.
Hey John. I thought it was that because it’s also puddling on the vaporizer nut. I lit up the lantern and the puddle went away and didn’t come...
Hey all! A continuance of the story of my Optimus 1200. I got it dialed in and it worked just fantastic! Instantly one of my favorite lanterns....
@Paul Aslanides the 200a ran longer. So did the 220 and 228. The Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, Suburban, and Impala have all had longer runs. Then...
Hahah. They are all over the place here! Look on US eBay or something
Yep. A 202 vent. If it were up to me, I would have green enamel put on a tall red vent

Cool, but it almost seems a sin to use a 242D fount for anything other than a 242D!
I think I’d rather just buy one instead of buying a lead sheet and making one. Won’t be able to get many more euro lanterns before my net worth is...
Thanks for the help! Guess I need a lead washer. My buddy Toby hates European lanterns. “Throw em on the junk shelf and light a coleman. Works...
Am I thinking like a coleman guy? The block of brass with the spiny thingy that controls the fuel thingy that screws into the fount thingy. That’s...
Helllooo everybody. That clone is a no go man. It’s really poor quality. So, the valve doesn’t tighten so I guess it came from the factory with...
Woo hoo! Tied on the bottom half of a 1111 and she’s good![ATTACH]
Well I tried the big 500cp round mantle. Should’ve known it wouldn’t work
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Tried the mantle less test which resulted in big flames in a minute which I would expect because the generator...
I saw that the burner cap was super loose so I tightened it and it started burning way worse. This thing is not liking life
