@Tim Read & @LesRiekie The most easily available naphtha in Australia is Shellite, which is also sold in bulk as Recosol 55. [Coleman fuel, of...
Well it’s after 1937… and before Tilley started date stamping them (1960). Are there any indication of a decal or former brass plate on the back...
Blue… Is it marked in any way to indicate who may have used it? Tony
Thank you for the detailed photos of this uncommon lantern. Tony
11 years later I just did a service on this lantern. I needed to replace the check valve O-ring (again). But it works fine now. [ATTACH]...
Are they Mallard ducks? Tony
Please look after that lamp, @Liam P. They are quite uncommon and there is no C331 in the Reference Gallery. And it was found in Oz! When you’re...

Interesting lantern, @hikerduane. Cheers Tony
There’s no doubt my sign is not authentic, but I’m curious about its origin. The price I paid suited this fact. It will end up on the wall of the...
I have been told by the person from whom I received this sign, that he bought it from a Bendigo Swap Meet 6 or 7 years ago. Tony
Jörg Interesting that they are ?copies of an older design; and mine above is of a newer design. I’ll see if I can find out anything more from...
