Petromax and Hipolito in the garden

Well - still locked down but any excuse (e.g. it wasn't raining) for a light up and a beer. Anyway lanterns need excersise too ! Some other lanterns crept in later on as the wife left me to my own devices..

 

Excellent!

 

Great light up. Cheers

 

No shelf queens there, doing what they were made for, nice to see.

 

Very bright lamps. I guess the left one is the Px?

Left hand side is the Hipolito (metal pump end) and the other the Px (1961 made). The Hipolito is using a Px helox mantle and the Px a thorated unbranded one. Both had 1.25 litres of fuel and 2bar pressure. Both have had recent jets/service kit. They are similar in output I think.

 

So just the other way.
But it's correct with the different pump knobs.
Having both of them, I should have known.

It's all good fun @LatMag49 - and better than watching TV every evening

 

@Fireexit1
Love the light up ....
I like they way other lamps just wander out and join the party.
Enjoy
Cheers
