Very nice, these Amish lanterns are reputed to be very bright.

 

It's working well.

 

Nice. Does anyone import these to the UK ? (for that matter same question for Austramax)
cheers

Hi Chris

There aren't any Uk importers of HC Lanterns but there are 2 American retailers of the lantern who ship abroad. In America I can simply call HC lanterns and place an order and they send out goods via UPS. This particular model isn't listed in the 20-21 catalog anymore though. This one has a Coleman fount and was the first of their kerosene/naphtha lanterns. HC used to sell a connector valve that allowed for the Coleman fount to be connected to their burner assembly so one could make this lantern one self. Here is this lanterns replacement the " Lightning Bug".

 

Very nice lantern.

I know of no importer of Austramax in the UK.

If you want a new one give me a PM and I’ll send you details of where/how to purchase one. Postage will be pretty steep unless it can go sea mail. In any case, up to AUD$90 IIRC.

There's an eBay store in the USA that sells them and ships to the UK. Bit pricey once delivery and import taxes are taken into account mind you:

Pitman Marine and Lantern | eBay Stores

The same seller also has an ad listed here:

H.C. Lanterns at Retail Cost, plus Shipping/PayPal Fee (see details)
