Shipping to Ontario
Buy or trade

I will keep my eye out in my travels, the one I have is 6/66

MiloTheCat

I believe mid 50s. 1954-1961 for the 413E. I have one & really like the size for a 2 burner.

MiloTheCat

The F looks like it’s in great condition! Great Buy. At least you got the reflector you wanted!

MiloTheCat

Thanks All!! The antique store is 30 miles from me, but I work in the area at least once a week. The store is closed on Tue & Wed & I work with my wife so she tries to schedule my work to that town on those days of the week cause she knows

MiloTheCat

Milo, let me be the first to say, YOU SUCK. Seriously, very nice items. Excellent haul. Thank You Robert! My biggest problem is hiding my haul from my wife every week..😊 I just can’t help it as all the lanterns the guy brings in are always In fantastic condition. Prices are always very reasonable b...

Yes all at one, one vender always has around 6 lanterns at a time & replenishes once a week if some sell

it’s awesome.

MiloTheCat

Well went to my usual antique store & came home with 3 lanterns & Vulcan safety chef camp stove. Sears Big Hat 6/66👹!! Single mantle JC Higgins, & A Coleman L427, which isn’t in horrible shape. No mica 5/6. I’m quite happy to get my hands on the sears, made a 2nd trip back to grab the Higgins.Paid $...

MiloTheCat

Mine showed up yesterday!

MiloTheCat

Got it lighted up & running like a champ!

MiloTheCat

Very nice! How did you get the burner frame cleaned up and looking so nice? Jim A few runs in an ultra sonic cleaner w/ Hornady metal solution, used for reloading. & Whink rust stain remover w/ steel wool. The frame was a lot of work, it has a little pitting but looks way better. Painted the fount ...

MiloTheCat

Thanks All, it definitely was a project but well worth the work! Maybe I’ll fire it tonight…

definitely going to tackle another 275 soon I want to do hunter orange for hunting camp

The color I used was seal brown

MiloTheCat

Well I finally got the 275A finished!! Didn’t turn out too shabby. Definitely learned a lot. Had to use a spare 275 valve, the original threads were messed up for the burner. Put a spare vent on while the one for this lantern is currently at IPE. Seems to holding pressure, dunk tested but will leave...

MiloTheCat

Wow! Awesome Collection. I would be interested in taking one off your hands!

The only wood better for fish than apple is alder! But apple is great! My only divergence: I never cut the heads off of fish if I'm going to cook them whole. Why? https://live.staticflickr.com/1804/28118151177_0e8579837a_b.jpg Gives me a good handle to pull all the bones out at once (and reminds me...

Ive got a couple. Drove about 800 miles round trip for my 4/51 model 200, back in 2018. I won it in an auction for $51 but they wouldn't ship. Made a mini vacation out of it with my wife. :D The lantern was 99% perfect. Then last month my wife surprised me with a gift to celebrate a medical milesto...

MiloTheCat

Looks like you had an ATF weekend. Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. I don't know about the tobacco, but you did have smoke😁 It looks really fun, going in a couple weeks myself. Definitely was an ATF weekend!! Had it all. Share some of your camping pics for sure Harold. I’m hoping to get out a few mor...

What wood did you use to smoke the trout?

I used apple wood & I’ll tell ya the fish turned out awesome! Can’t go wrong with Coors Banquets & A little Jim Beam right!

MiloTheCat

Thanks everyone! I definitely camp like it’s my Job.

MiloTheCat

Just got back & had a blast, caught 10 cut throats kept 6 & father in law caught 6 kept 3.. smoked them up on the little chief smoker. Yum yum!!

I got the Xmas lantern for $80 & 242b for $40. I figured it was a good deal. Almost got one off epay the other night for dumb money. Iam so happy I waited. Same guy brings in around 6 lanterns at a time, when a couple sells he replenishes them

MiloTheCat

Went to my usual antique store today & got a 200A Christmas 12/51 believe it or not.

& got a 242B. Quite happy as I have been in search of a Christmas lantern for a bit now! Both lanterns are in awesome shape.

MiloTheCat

Great Light up Jack! Hoping to find a 237 soon.. Looks like it’s burning bright!!

MiloTheCat

Beautiful Lantern!

MiloTheCat

I used a rattle can, let the can sit in a sink full of hot water for 15 min, shake for a couple of min & good to go. Turns out great, I just did a 275 fount this evening after wet sanding the 1st few coats & will do another couple coats tomorrow.Probably didn’t need to wet sand but I just felt like ...

MiloTheCat

Love the pics Pancho! Awesome.

MiloTheCat

Maybe take it down to the fount, strip the paint & paint it. Couple of light coats per day. 4-6 coats & make it brand new looking. Not difficult as long as you don’t go heavy with the first couple coats. I’d say go for it! You can do it! https://i.postimg.cc/SQH6y9hV/5-D01-F76-C-542-A-4-E45-9315-E7-...
