Good place for it

Mister_Wilson

Put it right in your nightstand so it’s the first thing you see in the morning and the last thing you see at night.
She’ll understand

Mister_Wilson

Hang in there Dave. Bless your wife for being there for her parents.

Mister_Wilson

The red 286 with a picket globe is kinda sexy.

Mister_Wilson

They're not sexy, and don't get a lot of love, but when they're sorted out they're great performers. I'm partial to the single mantle 286, I have a variety of them.

Mister_Wilson

Oh my, that's the full meal deal.

Mister_Wilson

My extra pump has two cracks in the tubular shaft. If you think you can solder it or want to try, let me know.

Yeah, looks like David Jewell found one also. I’ll see him at the Ohio gathering and we can compare notes.

Mister_Wilson

Todays finds, Turner X-141 stove that should be a easy fettle. https://i.postimg.cc/BnDpL0C1/9-C789-A63-0-BFE-4-C16-9186-E8-C5-B7-AE9-E5-F.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/P5kFTyGH/FB6-A30-B3-54-CD-4-D5-D-8-FCE-B78-EF6-EC486-C.jpg A hollow wire lamp with no ID or markings.

What a coincidence, I just found one about an hour ago. https://i.postimg.cc/BnDpL0C1/9-C789-A63-0-BFE-4-C16-9186-E8-C5-B7-AE9-E5-F.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/xTmFw74g/90504059-FF50-4-D70-8-CEA-E1-D1-E9-ACF817.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/P5kFTyGH/FB6-A30-B3-54-CD-4-D5-D-8-FCE-B78-EF6-EC486-C.jpg

BTW, John, I feel your pain. Know, that I always keep an eye out for a 6-56.

Thanks Dan, I appreciate you and a couple of others that keep an eye peeled for me.

Mister_Wilson

Bring cash!

Mister_Wilson

I don’t have a birthday lantern

Mister_Wilson

She was radiant.

Mister_Wilson

Awesome box. I thing the painted Ds are cool. Mine are bookends.

The one on the left is B-47, on the right is A-51.

Mister_Wilson

There goes another one. Thanks for entertaining us Tina.

Mister_Wilson

I really like your mug shot can.
We lived in Abilene, TX for five years when I was a kid and shopped at Gibson’s. This can was packed there.

Mister_Wilson

Nice can. I have a different Gibson’s can.

Mister_Wilson

It will be good to meet you Fred.

I won’t let you down.

Mister_Wilson

Nice avatar Jim

Mister_Wilson

My, oh my. That’s nice! On my list…

Mister_Wilson

Beautiful lamp and shade.

Mister_Wilson

That is hip.

To me a lamp without a shade is creepy!
they made a very nice shade for the 337. I'm still looking for one.
Dan
Me too as well as the new owner of this one I’m sure.

He is.

Mister_Wilson

Bump.

Mister_Wilson

Nulite #10 Fancy shade that I got from Kevin yesterday. My Sunshine Safety will wear it.

Mister_Wilson

I like it, the campfire too. Was it a cool evening?

Mister_Wilson

It would be good to meet you.

Mister_Wilson

I remember the liquor stores in California having a wire stretched across the front of the bottles so they don’t fall off the shelf.

Mister_Wilson

I made one from a penny.

Mister_Wilson

Not rain, nor sleet, nor slurry shall keep him from his appointed rounds.

Mister_Wilson

To celebrate, I have my most recent complete project (the Sears), my original Slant 220, and my October 1935 "birthday" lantern going /QCrHVCYs/IMG-20230510-202300395-HDR.jpg[/img][/url] Happy belated birthday Will. Don't worry I'll hug you Saturday. 🤣 Group hug!! Looking forward to you guys droppi...

Right: 880 275/5114

Mister_Wilson

A very dedicated, determined, strong woman. You must be very proud parents!

Mister_Wilson

Happy Birthday young man! Hope to see you Saturday.

Mister_Wilson

Welcome from NW Pennsylvania.

Mister_Wilson

PM sent.

Mister_Wilson

Great price for a nice example with a hard to find globe.

The 990 globe is bigger than a 5107 and smaller than a 880. Only used in a couple of Canadian models.

Mister_Wilson

…I got this Tilley TL-106 cleaned, painted and totally rebuilt.

Mister_Wilson

Anything with a heating element uses a fair amount of electricity. Heating your home, your water, drying your clothes, cooking your food, and having the light to do it by will prove to be costly I would think. Good thing the grid is robust and able to handle the demand. Ouch!! I just bit my tongue w...

Mister_Wilson

What’s the spacing for the tank tabs?

Looks like a great score! What’s in the boxes with the ships? Anything in that big mantle box?
Those are Scouter Jan lantern boxes made by his troop.

Hey Bruce, The lovely Mrs. Reed. LOL I had nearly forgotten about that so thanks!!

Yeah, she was a treat

Mister_Wilson

You know I like it!

Mister_Wilson

Peace be with your father, and all who knew and loved him.

Mister_Wilson

Yep, heck of a deal.

Mister_Wilson

Mineral spirits, kerosene.

Mister_Wilson

OP states that the screw holes line up.
Does the air look straight or sway back? If not straight, possibly bend it forward which would lower the mix chamber onto the generator.

Mister_Wilson

So, what did you find causing the obstruction?
