Had a tornado warning and had to head to the basement.

9/57 new edition to the family.

Has anyone attempted to light one of these recently? Looking for feedback on how it went before I try this one out.

I started collecting these things a few years back. There's more than what is pictured. It is a cheap hobby to get into, most of what you see was purchased at garage sales or fb marketplace. Most were $10-$20.

Bought two powerhouse lanterns and they’re both crushed on the back. Is this normal?

This came to me from a recent purchase along with 2 other lanterns. 200A and the 228F are both rebuilt and up and running. This girl is giving me straight hell. 78/ 220K, and it will not release the valve body from the fount. I have used B'laster PB, direct low torch heat, heat gun, for more than 2 weeks, and she will not budge. Any advice? I have a fount vise and well, and a stand-alone vise, but she has been really abused!

Found a cream can today. These things are tough to find. Fits a large frame lantern perfectly.

Hiss Therapy from a 1947 242C, a very nice Eagle Rare Bourbon makes a great ending to a long week and Saturday. Cheers all.
