    The curse of a corrupt SD card, luckily I had backed up,
    Here are the lanterns in their shining glory. The 555 has a cheap mantle, what can you expect for 15 cents? The 555 had had an unfortunate life, it had obviously been in a flood. The steel heat shield was almost non-existent, it now has a 316ss heat shield. I have no idea of the childhood abuse the 222 had gone through but it had a bad lean to the left, or right depending on your view, almost as thought it had been dropped from a height but the cage and glass survived go figure?
    BTW I noticed a Collins Brothers sold on Ebay for over AUS$600. I have the original that identified this previously unknown, with the decal that identified still, mostly, intact. If anyone is interested please PM me.

    I’m sure you will get it right.
    The 222 looks good lit.

    I was searching about Coleman Peak 1 222 lantern, and found this.

    This must be older one. They are very beautiful!
