    I found this beautiful lantern on an auctionsite. The lantern itself was in very good condition, only the bottom of the fount has 3 large cracks. I decided to replace the bottom. Sealer and solder was no option.
    The pump looks like a Tilley pump and was easy to clean. All the seals are replaced by new ones.

    Well done on the repair. It looks good and looks like it is quite well made.
