Whew. The dry spell finally ended. My new 228D made the 2nd half of 1950. I love the big hats and chrome! Oiled the pump, new mantles and a little bit of chrome polish (still needs more polishing) and lit right up.
Other than a Turd or Gold Bond I think I'm done collecting them for now. Ya right.
That's a Nice one Dawn, congrats! My 228s are some of my favorites too I still haven't managed to get any nickle fount lanterns and hang onto them lol.
Oh, that whole stopping collecting now thing....good luck with that
Im waiting patiently for a 228 here. Then I will be done for awhile too... lolol or not.. Awesome flea market in town here this weekend but there is far to many people there for me.. I tend to hold on to my nickle fount lanterns..

Some people are like slinkys.. not much good for anything but they still make you smile when you push them down the stairs....
Dawn:
Nice find on the Big Hat. Looks good already. If you think you're done collecting........you been hitting the Captain Morgan a little too heavy!!
If you're like me, you're done till the next one comes along.

I can drink all day.....provided I don't start till 11PM
