I was able to buy this from another collector a while, back. Model 858 Double Drop propane fixture. My understanding is that, it is part of a failed Propane product line from the 1930s. I dunno about "failed", they (that line, not that exact model) were produced from at least 1930 until 1941, possi...

Hit up on estate yesterday. I was really excited when I spotted the 222. Unfortunately, when I open the box, it was only full of random crap. I got it anyway. First time I’ve come across one of these boat clamps. It was cheap, so I got it too. I’ll throw it on the pile of Lantern hangers, tripods, r...

Those are shinier than any NOS ones I have found though a did buy a few of those from OCP a couple years back. They seem to discolor differently than other NOS ones, they kind of "rainbow" discolor Some of them are really shiny and have plated threads and the other ones are slightly longer, have a ...

The shiny ones are 2 7/8 inches long and the dull ones are about a 16th of an inch longer than that

Coast_to_Coast

I’ve never heard of nickel plated tubes on a Lantern. Is there a particular lamp that would’ve use these, or did somebody just nickel plate them for fun?
Thanks

Coast_to_Coast

You’re living the dream alright!

Coast_to_Coast

I’ll bet that’s a nice running stove. I like those cast burners.

Thinking it's a F124? I've read the bakelight wheel showed up in 1928. https://classicpressurelamps.com/threads/sunshine-safety-f-124.20372/ That’s what I was thinking. But the book shows the later Production models having F124 stamped on them. This one does not have that. That’s a nice piece to ha...

Thanks. So that Bakelite valve wheel is correct? Shouldn’t be a fiber wheel?

Now with pictures.

I just bought it whatever it is. I’ll post some pictures of it later when I get home.

I bought the sunshine safety lantern today. Looks to be pretty barn fresh. Just wondering which one this is? I looked over the two pictured in the Coleman book, and this one seems to have features somewhere between the early one in the late one. It also has a Bakelite valve wheel. I’m not sure if th...

If you haven’t subscribed to Neil’s PLC, may I suggest the cost of admission at $20 is a bargain if you plan to be in this hobby.

Do you have a link to Neil’s PLC by any chance? Thanks

Coast_to_Coast

Godspeed. Thanks to him and so many others who laid the groundwork and compiled the information for this hobby. It should not be taken for granted. And that’s just the stuff he did for this hobby. I’m sure there was much, much more.

I replaced the valve stem and it is still leaking. I’m guessing somethings worn inside of the valve and the whole valve needs replacing

No it’s seeping air. Looks to me like the tip of valve is worn out.

Coast_to_Coast

Yes . That’s what I mean

Coast_to_Coast

Did you remove the valve stem? If you did you have a 50/50 chance of getting the valve stem into its original position. Sometimes this can make a difference between sealing and not sealing.

Air still seeps through the tip cleaner on this Lantern even with the main valve fully closed. I thought maybe the fuel pick up was clogged so I pulled the valve And cleaned everything with both brake cleaner and carburetor cleaner and even eventually replaced the pick up tube spring and the works. ...

Buy what you like. $120 spends pretty easily in this hobby. Was it a Fred Kuntz globe? I imagine those are becoming collectors items, given they were well made and he no longer makes them (as far as I know anyway).

He did nothing wrong at all that I can see. Nobody has dibs on anything I’m selling on marketplace or craigslist until we’ve at least agreed on a price.

Coast_to_Coast

Yep. When I see something I want at a great price I will message that “I will buy it for the asking price and when can I pick it up”. The guy that did get it was taking his chances by dickering over $10. Don’t ever give a seller a reason to move on to the next guy.

Looks like you're getting a gas leak at the threads where the jet screws on. That one is a bit excessive.. Maybe loose? I have used muffler cement to fix pesky candle flames on areas like that.

It’s taking a while but I think I finally about got this lamp done. Everything seems to be working fine except I am getting flames shooting out of the burner.

Coast_to_Coast

Thanks all. They weren’t giving it away, but it’s been a while since I had seen one in nice shape for a decent price. I actually haven’t had a plain 200A in my collection for quite a while. I kept my burgundy, Christmas and black band but sold the rest to finance harder to find Lanterns.

Coast_to_Coast

Spotted this today. Very cool, but I think it’s a bit steep at $40. I probably would have been a sucker at $30 or less. I’ll keep an eye on it. I didn’t walk away empty handed though. I haven’t bought a 200A in a couple years, but for $65 with a sunrise globe, it came home.

Wow! You stole that thing

Something that funky is probably collectable.

Here’s a couple unique valve wheels I have found. One made from a wingnut and one made from an old bottle cap

Very nice. I was on a roll finding those Feuerhand lanterns for a while. Probably close to ten in about a year and a half. Haven’t found one for a year or so now.

Cool hat! Smokey stuff is pretty popular right now. T shirts at Kohls etc.. I belong to a couple sign groups and anything original with Smokey goes quickly and brings stupid money. I know that can be said about signs in general, but still.
