Nice finds. I found a NIB Avon once, bail uninstalled and wrapped in plastic. Don’t use the cologne near an open flame! Real nice lamp. Those lamps are from the 30’s so may be June, 1935 or May 1936. I’m nowhere near my Book.

You sound like one tough cookie, Phil and I feel you will flat out ‘mow’ this down! Prayers for you, Tammy, and family. Be strong.

I also use citronella in my wickies at camp. I like how they throw just enough light on a table to see what your doing.

I’ve always used flat gaskets. I do have a few o-rings in the spare parts bin just in case. Years ago, I met a Coleman repairman that was working at sporting goods store after the local Coleman outlet store closed and we got to talking about gaskets in the 3-piece cap. He didn’t agree with burning o...

Nice pictures. I often have a hard time photographing lanterns at night. Maybe i just need a few lamps to solve the problem

I agree Paul, much easier to photograph lamps!

Enjoy the trip, Dan. You should have some nice scenery along the way.

Thanks! Been wanting to get back up but to cooler temps but dang work gets in the way!

Thanks, I appreciate the comments.

Yea, it’s gotten a bit crazy Timm. I hope you find a place to have that drink!

Welcome from Colorado and nice collection you got going on there! Yes, nice score on the amber globe too.

1hpycmpr

I have never seen that globe either, Timm. Congrats on scoring it for your lantern. Looks nice!

Yes, make sure the assembly is very secure in the frame cause if it ain’t and you give it a twirl…..better yet, take the globe off and give it a spin.
Once the lantern is lit, pull it back down. No need to cook it!
Enjoy!

Nice, but all that looks very heavy! Looking forward to seeing some fire someday! Happy Birthday!

Thank you for your service, Dan and what a nice looking lantern.

1hpycmpr

Thanks again, all! excellent Mark. They look great. Its been too hot outside to enjoy lanterns and lamps are no go when the AC is on so Ive been running lanterns in the fireplace. All the heat leaves but I can still sit beside the fireplace and enjoy one. Mike, it’s been pretty hot here as well. The...

That is neat to see, Wayne. Nothing like that around here except the occasional tractor heading down the road between fields and folks moving livestock. Been stuck in the middle of cattle and sheep drives numerous times when I lived in Wyoming and Utah. Bill (austin65uri) mentioned Basque sheep herd...

Thanks for the comments, folks! I really enjoy running these two lamps on the front porch. People tend to slow down and take a second look as they drive by.

Nice stove, John!

You folks have been finding some nice things. Most of the garage sales around here are clothes and toys.

I meant to hold the shade. If I use this: https://www.mylampparts.com/products/sl23310?variant=37159160709282¤cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&utm_campaign=gs-2021-01-19&utm_source=google&utm_medium=smart_campaign&gclid=Cj0KCQjw...

Very cool. If you use the ring style bottom shade holder, do you need the top holder also, or is it either one? If I correctly understand your question, Robert, the top piece below the heat bell is just to press down on the top of the shade. Possibly to stabilize the shade? It’s not needed to use t...

Ha, that is brilliant. Never even thought of that vintage hack!

Boy, I don’t know, Bob. Four of those would put me horizontal!

I really enjoy the green shade as well. I modeled my lamp after seeing a couple of others that one member found and another member made.

New Belgium’s newest Voodoo Ranger. Pretty orange-juicy but not bad. One would taste good on a hot day! But just one because they weigh in at 9.5 ABV!

No worries, Toby. I’m the only one home and it was a calm evening!

Last night I had some free time in the garage so I decided to grab a couple of my favorite lamps to light up. First up was my homemade reading lamp with a Capiz shell shade. Taller than a table lamp but shorter than a floor lamp, it was made to sit just over my shoulder while sitting in a camp chair...

Whoa, nice picture, Fred. I think you timed it just right.

1hpycmpr

Nice globe! Congrats on finding the globe you’ve been hunting. The rest of the haul looks pretty good too.

That’s a wonderful collection, Greg. Must have taken some time to carefully pack all your collection into all those boxes.

Mark when we moved back home I had 66 medium size moving boxes full of GPA stuff. The last count I was down to 14 boxes.

Nice, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel!

Hmmm….damn, I’ve never been very good at these.

Very cool Coke machine, William! Seeing stuff like this really takes me back in time. Thanks for the trip to the past! Awesome score - that machine sure brings back memories William. I recall one sometimes needed a firm grip on the bottleneck while pulling a Coke out of the machine. If the Coke bott...

On a side note regarding JC Penney. If you ever have the need to travel through Kemmerer, Wyoming, you can see where the mother store was located. Opened in 1902 but I don’t believe it’s open anymore. I use to travel through Kemmerer all the time back in the 70’s and 80’s and have stopped in the sto...

Looks like a great camping trip with your son, Paul! I remember standing up for the first time on a paddle board and trying to keep your balance can be a bit of a workout. You obviously ate well and had a nice kitchen set up. The stand holding the stove looks pretty robust. The #2 is really sweet an...

Well I’ll be, looked like a 9 to me! Brightlight was right!

1hpycmpr

Gotta love them heavier stoves with the skinny wire handle!

Nice find, Keith and it looks to be running well. I’m thinking it’s going to get a degreasing, some new legs and then it’s time to cook up something!

1hpycmpr

Great story, Rusty and thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a win-win.

1hpycmpr

Running bright!

That 9 almost looks like a lower-case g.

Thanks Mark! It’s in good drivable condition. It does have its minor flaws and not a show stopper but I prefer to use all of my old stuff and enjoy it. Still have a few parts I need to install but waiting till it cools down a bit. I drive it a few times a week to work and shopping and can’t be in a...

Great pictures and comments everyone!

I have reached out to the person I believe is the owner of the lot, no answer and his mailbox is full. I plan on texting/trying again tomorrow and if no luck, will head down after work to see if anyone is around.

Very nice looking lantern, Dan! Nothing like taking something that’s 97 years old and getting it to do what it was made to do.
