Hi Cole. My name is Ken. I'll have to fix my account info. Yes, we got a good amount of snow in our area. I'd say 16-18'' with around 3 more...
For the life of me I can’t remember what size leather pump cup I used on my L43S. I think it was a Tilley cup.. [ATTACH]
I'll have to check on my L43S, I know they are not the same model but I don't think mine has a gasket where the pump tube meets the fount. IIRC...
Thanks everyone! I appreciate it.
@presscall, thank you for the pictures, information and the video of the preheat torch. Who knows, maybe someday I can rebuild the torch heater on...
Thank you for the comments! I am very happy to add this piece to my collection.

Old fuel residue and oil from the pump cup can make a CV ball stick. With the stem out, if you take some carb cleaner and spray it down into the...

The American Mantles are pretty darn strong and bright. I do have a couple pairs that burn more of a peach/warm light than bright white. You have...
I see now the pump is threaded, sorry I missed that before. You might have a B fount and a mix of parts there...
If the 157 is like my 156, it is a gold paint that fades into a cream/off white. The wood handle is the same.
Here is a picture of my B47 228D. You can see the solid valve knob. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Is there anything stamped on the collar? There was a run of the 220/228D models that had a solid non removable valve knob. Like a larger version...
No problem! Here is a pic of mine. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I have a Canadian painted 200 dated 4/67, the bottom is stamped. Maybe yours is earlier. Very nice one BTW!
