My weekend find ( UPDATE )

[Joamon]

Last week I posted that I had the day off and that I was going to the flea-market. It took a while but I finally found a few vendors who had quite a few lanterns. Quite a variety. But most were not cheap. Saw my first 242. The guy had maybe 5 or 6, and some cases too. The only one that was cost effective for me was this Quicklite. Sept. of 24.








It must have taken a hit at some point. The air tube is bent and the vent is sitting crooked. Looks like lots of hard years of service.





I have already started to clean it but no pics yet.

Nice find....I like the old stuff! Do you have a pump for it? You can pick them up on ebay and all the usual places. On that lantern...don't over pump it. The hand pumps have a ton of volume to them compared to the built in pumps. Easy to overpressure and make it a "flamer". PS...that gennie needs to be preheated...Doug

These are great lanterns! Good find!

1924. What a year. 88 years ago this thing was born & today it was reborn.








Here is a picture of my 1928 AGM & 1924 Quicklite burning together.
