Hi all new to the site and first post, this is today's find , now to get them cleaned up and oneday running.
Welcome aboard and a couple of nice finds. Just to note, the Handi looks like it has the blue background on the name plate (even though darker than expected) so it could be set up for shellite.
@Stevejeep44 Very cool lanterns, hours of fun, Read all about your Handi Kero Pet in the lantern gallery, great reading and informative, as Nils says, if the badge is blue it would be a shellite fuelled lantern, there will be a stamped letter at the jet end. Also if you do strip it down inside the generator if it has a rolled up fine brass mesh as a fuel restriction it is shellite, if it’s a curly brass looking spring it’s a kerosene fueled. Either way they are very cool lanterns to own Enjoy PS. The meth cup is used in the same manner as kerosene, it reduces flare up, I use mine every time
Welcome from Toowoomba Queensland. Nice finds mate. Looking forward to seeing your pictures of their first light up. Cheers Pete
