    Wow!

    What a great addition to the Reference Gallery. I’ve never seen a cream Handi.


    Cheers

    Like Tony, I can't ever remember seeing a Handi with a cream hood. They're cracking lanterns...

    The cream coloured hood for a Handi, that’s very cool, Vic had never mentioned any other colour in our conversation, must have been a special order for a special gift / presentation.
    Either way what a beautiful find.
    Hours of fun, the sun in a jar.

    Well done Marko, that is a great find.

    Any chance of a photo of the burner and a close up of the label? I'd like to get an idea of when the lamp was made.

    A beautiful old original lantern, quite a unique find.

    anything about Handi making a Cream hood. IMG20250204124058.jpg IMG20250204124033.jpg

    Hello Tony, I found it at the Toowoomba Swap Meet on the weekend. Lucky me.
    It goes well with this one.
