I was given a bag of loose mantles with these 3 among them. Does anyone know what type they are? 111 maybe? Biro pen included for scale.
Thanks guys. When I got the bag of nantkes these were badly wrinkled so I put them in a large book to flatten them and promptly forgot all about them!
@ColinG I’ve got a stash of different sized Coleman mantles. If you give me the length (mm) from top of green to bottom of curve, and width across top at the string, I might be able to find the closest match. Cheers Tony
So, they measure: 2.5" or 70mm wide 4.0" or 100mm long They also have a very loose weave, unlike modern mantles.
Using your ancient measuring stick, at 4 inches long it has to be a 1111-sized mantle: Peerless 111 is around the same size. Cheers Tony
Excellent, thanks. To be honest, they do look old... not a scientific hypothesis I know but they have an air of age about them.
