@Peter Nice lantern, well worth conserving or restoring. Sorry if I’m stating the obvious but it is a hot blast hurricane lantern and may possibly date from the 1930’s and is missing the chimney guard and bail. Now we wait to hear from someone who really knows. Regards Jeremy
@X246A Thanks! Is it possible to get it up and running without the parts you say its missing? Is it a preassure operated lantern? Parts available? Sorry for all the questions... Picking her up tomorrow. /peter
A handle can be made from wire and a guard could also be rigged and that is a wick paraffin/kerosene lantern and as Jeremy has already stated, that style of lantern is known as a hot blast lantern. The link below shows a website which may be useful. The workings of a "Hot Blast" kerosene lantern. "Hot Blast" lanterns mixed fresh air with heated exhaust and fed that mixture to the burner… | Ceramics | Lanterns, Creative lamps, Oil lamps
Well it is a pressure lantern of some kind. its operates under atmosferic pressure. So you don't have to pump. Any indentification starts with telling us what it says obivious: what is written on the tank and label ? Clean her up, check the wick, fill her up and light her. But I am afraid you miss the burner itself too.
@WimVe ok, I’ll check if the burner is missing when I go pick it up. If so, I’ll leave it. Thanks for the heads up! /peter
Depends on how much you have to pay. I like the model and the glass. In this condition: 10 euros is the max.
