Mike, are you sure that's an Akron fount? The shade may be early, but it's not for any GPA that I'm aware of. And every lamp collector needs a Protect-A-lite

That's it!

Our local O'Reilly's does a really good job of matching colors. I'm sure a lot of that has to do with the guy mixing too... A mixed rattle can is not cheap, but it's a high quality paint that lays down great.

I actually used mother's on the shadow that's left after the white is gone... I have a how to on this somewhere... I don't remember how it was titled or I'd search for it

Particles won't move as easily through vapor as they will with liquid. Light it up

Like a propane tank gauge

Yes modern replacement is the 200A generator.

Great stuff Duane! I'm not a stovie, but I can certainly appreciate another's collection. I have a few unfired single burners I need to offer up in the classifieds... Just taking up space here.

So I do my best to avoid painting in general, but I've found empty Crown cans to be perfect test pieces... I'll spray my coat on the can first, if it lays down fine then I spray my object... Same for when I go to the next step like a clear coat, hit the can first... See if there's any negative react...

Well dang

Neil McRae has listed this Gloria built torch lighting lamp as an AP model in his pressure lamp catalogue. Also on Terry M's sight. At first glance it looks like a Coleman AA/NA lamp, but has many Gloria specific features. Only one known at this time. https://i.postimg.cc/m287Pg16/PXL_20220806_16413...

I've already been making plans to get out on the water this spring. Looking forward to it. Thanks for sharing!

Good buy on a hard to find globe. These are also correct for 44 & 45 milspec's as well.

Well done on that one Mark! Does it have a 7/16" or 1/2" gland nut? Is the underside of the vent white? Thanks, Toby. 1/2” and no. Mark the 1/2" gland nut started showing up in 35 and the bail shape would change in late 35 , so I'd lay money down that you're seeing a 5 year stamp 😁 Congratulations ...

Bummer

I call it the Hot Diggity way

It's sure pleasing to see the white just wash away. Thanks for sharing

4-36 if I remember correctly... 3/16" long or so.

All I've been seeing blooming around here are the Easter lilies (daffodils?). Won't be long!

Sean the old style burner will go right on there. You might have to swap vent studs, but my guess is that would be fine also. Then you wouldn't need a reducer.

Nice cleanup on that one!

This is the issue

If no overburn I would check and have sure you're getting enough pressure. It should run as bright as a 220/228 lantern.

Any over burn of the mantles?

For Coleman's any Quickliteing lantern with a baffle plate. My LZ's are noticably noisier. I'm assuming because of the exposed air tube.

I also have some early AGM double mantles that are very quite as well. Trending theme seems to be the earlier, the quieter

There's nothing lower on this earth than a thief. That seems like a crazy repair bill also... I just installed a rebuilt engine in an F150 a couple weeks ago and the customers total was not much more than that... Of course I live in SW Missouri. I'm sure things are different out west.

We still have and use a pair of rotary phones... One table top and the other a wall hanger. Mainly there so we can hear the ring in the shop... I can still remember having a party line in the 90's too

Great lanterns!

Definitely need you a stove with a built in oven Ulf... I don't really know what to recommend as I'm no stovie 😁 https://i.postimg.cc/HLyQrN4s/PXL_20221012_174738645_2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xdXpbm3X/PXL_20221015_172640552.MP_2.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/CxP617ky/PXL_20221015_180210781_2.jpg https:/...

"slants" refer to models of Coleman lamps and lanterns that use a slanted valve/generator setup. L220 & L228 lanterns and 117, 118, & 119 lamps.

Looking good Poncho!

Chuck the top one looks very hollow wire'ish... I'm looking forward to what you come up with, use a stove gen and you'll have an adjustable 1K candlepower

Looks great!

I'm literally tripping over appliances in my Lantern room and yet I find myself looking for more... Sometimes I think about selling something and then I think, well I still like that one

Repo looks like he's having second thoughts about snow camping

What's their length?

Dang cell phones thinking they're smarter than I... Well, probably so

I've got several pumps and never seen an aluminum one. Very cool!

Couple projects showed up today. Picked these up for the price of the fuel caps... Everything else that ends up being good is just a bonus... No visual stress cracks! Have a great day everyone!

Apparently even in a locked cabinet you managed to steal it

Great find

413B... After that they just went cheap

Thank you all for kind words. A couple fun fettles for sure. Toby send me your address I got a funnel for ya. Needs the clip but I think you can figure that out. I owe you anyway. https://i.postimg.cc/cL5Tg9K9/D564-DFD4-D789-42-B9-BD5-C-4641-CD52343-C.jpg James, thank you. I'll shoot you a text.

Thanks John. I'll be in touch if I can't work something out

Thanks Jeremy

A good days pickin'!

Some may have seen the 50's milspec I picked up over the weekend. A buddy of mine wanted it and traded me a 530. It cleaned up nicely and I'll start hunting for the missing pieces in time. Sorry no before pictures. It wasn't terribly bad, just needed a good cleaning. https://i.postimg.cc/MGdH93hV/PX...

Looks like a good time! I'm looking forward to getting back on the water.
