Tilley X246 - 10/57

Hello all

I would like to share my first kerosene lantern fettle with you.

Aquired at a local auction house.
It was in excellent hardly used condition which resulted in crustified hard seals throughout.
Having ordered new seals and an aftermarket preheating device as the original was incomplete, I waited patiently until yesterday...
All seals replaced and new mantle fitted, here she is.



Kind regards
Scott B

 

That's great. It's a classy and beautiful lantern.

 

In good original condition, congratulations

 

Great to see it running, Scott.

Cheers

Tony

 

That's a good start to your collection!

 

Thanks Gents

I have predominantly been interested in stoves and the odd heater.
I guess the beautiful pressure lanterns I tried for so long to neglect finally pulled me in

Glad to be here.

Well done Scott!
Lantern in good condition.
