Hey All, I just went and stripped out a camper today. It was from the late 60' or early 70's. I got 7 great windows and a bunch of aluminum trim and hardware ect. but one of the coolest items I saved from the "recyclers" was this vintage wall mounted propaine lantern. I have a few questions about it that I hope someone can answer for me:
1. Is it old/rare/unusual or are these still commonly available.
2. If I clean it up and restore it, is it still usable. Also any restoration info would be helpful.
3. Is it safe to use. It says approved for indoor use, but what about inside a cabin that is only 6'x8'x5'.
4. Would this work if I plumbed it to a 1# Coleman propaine bottle as I will not have a full propaine "system" in my trailer.
Any other thoughts or comments you have would be very helpful. I just love the shape of the globe and the sort of "art deco" look of it.
Here is a link to a few pics of it. Sorry about sending you to youtube for the pics. I really gotta learn how to post pics here directly!!!
Thanks again, Dave
