I could not pass up this great lantern Tilley 246X 1954-56. Came with original box and was a pleasure to polish up. New set of seals and now runs...
Even if I were to change the jet and put some sort of restrictor in the air tube I think that little short generator might be a problem to run it...
[ATTACH] An update on this GL-1 lantern. Having run it a few times now I can confirm that it is very bright. I have fitted a 300-400cp Butterfly...
I like shiny ones and this did not disappoint. Unimet GL-1, most likely from the mid sixties, made in Hong Kong. It is not at all bad as far as...
Great little lanterns the 339. I have two Canadian nickel fount ones. The slightly more used one I keep on hand as a runner. These are very bright...
I made the clip referred to from a thick piece of copper wire. I have fired the 930 Optimus up a number of times now and everything is still...
All academic now. Someone else grabbed this at the full price of around Australian $110. I would not usually pay that much for a lantern in such...
Got it. Handi Kero lite? Found a really good post with full fettling photos from @AussiePete. This is the first one I have seen over here, I don't...
This strange lantern is up for auction. It has these curved air tube burner things one of which appears to be part of the generator? Also a...
Thanks for the tip Tony. I never fill any of my lanterns (0ver 60 in total) to anything more than a little over half-way. I have had and used a...
Thanks for the kind offer Tony, but it was born like that and so it shall remain. I have had a good look at the plastic pressure release screw and...
I have had one of these on my list for a while and finally found one that had made its way across the Tasman. It didn't need a lot of work as it...
Hi Ross, I have a virtually unfired one of these and have seen two others here in New Zealand. Mine was like yours, perfect except for the little...
@David Cully Excuse my ignorance. Do Scouts set up tents and light lanterns during their activities? Back in the day that was very much a...
Very nice indeed. Such beautiful lanterns and the ambience is perfect. Takes me back to scouting in my youth.
Pork pie with mustard coloured enamel cap (photo makes it look more orange than it really is). I have repainted the cage with VHT Universal Gold...
I will now resist the temptation to play around with this any further. It is working quite well although I would like it to be a bit brighter but...
How do I send a private message? I don't have your email and haven't done this before.
Well that looks perfect. How can we arrange this?
That would be very kind of you if you have one with the heatproof cement still intact. I would happily compensate for cost involved. Let me know.
