Aladdin 12A-My first find in Australia !!

Having moved to Australia less than a year ago this was my first find, an Aladdin 12A Lantern. I have never fettled one of these so I want to take it nice and slow any advice would be appreciated.
Thank You

A very nice find should be able to find more around your locality with a bit of luck.

 

Welcome from Toowoomba Queensland.
There’s plenty of friendly knowledge and help on this site. All you gotta do is ask.
Enjoy your fettle and don’t forget to post your pictures.
Cheers

Looks like a worthy fettle to come. Good luck

 

Happy fettling!

 

If I found that one I would be very happy! Great looking lantern that will very elegant when cleaned up a bit.

That's a great looking lantern!

 

That should clean up nicely, look forward to seeing the pics!

 

Welcome @MarcoM

It is a real quiet work horse and well worth the effort to get working.
Getting the acorn nut on top off can be difficult sometimes. Repeated use of penetrating oil and heat will usually work.

Start the fettle and ask questions when necessary.
Good luck

 

Welcome, that is a beautiful lamp, it will clean up nicely.
