the only liquids in this video are the linseed oil. that was clearly printed on the lid. and the 3in1 oil i used on chimney. which i did mention.

@@gordondecker6464 same here lol. In my 35+ years in the bizz I've probably eaten 1,000's of them too 😆😜

great lantern! the patent codes are on the center tube above the chimney. the last entry of patent dates will at least give you a born after date.

@@chefbirdland I have looked there don't see anything on this, it is in really great condition, is a tinned version but tinning is gone and is rust free. and the filler cap is on opposite site of little tabs to lift globe. do you have some where I can send pics?

Love the blizzard great work .. enjoyed the video and view from top is great .

@@davedavis3467 thanks dave!

I have seen some pretty odd homemade wicks too lol. paint inside tank may be from feuerhand dipping their lanterns instead of spraying.

@@JimsHobbiesPL I actually have a lantern lamp. A tasteful one, made with a Dietz comet. It appears to be a factory made product. I couldn't resist lol

@@williamfrederick3849 good to know thanks!

thats an interesting issue. the kerosene should be preventing that. but sounds like you have water in your founts. kerosene is lighter than water and will sit on bottom. I'd empty them out, leave cap and burner off and let them air out a few days. wick too. good luck!

@@chefbirdland I believe what happens is that a fount partially filled with kerosene has moist air above the kerosene. In cold weather, water condenses on the inside of the fount and drips down. Water, being heavier than kerosene, sinks to the bottom of the fount and causes the bottom of the fount to rust from the inside. Well, at least it keeps us lantern tinkerers busy!.

thanks! im glad i now have a good selection of parts to be able to do things like that. i may just build a mutant out of weird parts some day lol

thanks! embury's are common around here. so i didn't feel bad harvesting a few organs from it lol im sure ill need more parts from it at some point.

so glad you found the videos helpful. thats why I do it!

glad you found it! thats a great lantern! made by embury. they made it with the van camp labeling. go to this website. look for an embury air pilot filler cap. lots of great resources on that site too. lanternnet.com/product-category/burners-wick-parts-founts-caps-etc-etc/railroad-lamp-parts/

thanks ken! yeah with all the big lanterns i've found lately, i used up all my one inch! i need to stock up, i have quite a few more on deck.

@@williamfrederick3849 haha I should stick a light bulb in it for when I can't sleep 😜

@@williamfrederick3849 yes, my polishing work needs some, umm polishing

thanks paul! thats why i do it. so other can feel less nervous about getting their yard sale finds or family heirlooms working and looking good again.

oh great! defiance triumph lanterns were made in Rochester NY. they burn great. a globe size of a Dietz d-lite or an embury air pilot would fit yours.

thanks Mark! glad to know someone is watching.

🤣

@@paulwilson126 thanks! I was very lucky to find a parts lantern

thanks ken! im excited to get to Rochester and do more rooting around. more adventures to come!

@@chefbirdland 👍

Thanks for making a video of your adventures. I recently started collecting lanterns and the Embury Air Pilot is to my eye such a cool design with its art deco look. I also have two 210 Supremes’ from Embury factory, so seeing you travel to that town and checking out the factory’s original site was very cool. My wife and I moved from Dutchess County NY three years ago, so it is nice to see the turning of the season where you are. We’re not so far away though, moved to south central Pennsylvania so our autumnal leaf change occurs about a month later. Am enjoying your videos, so keep them coming!

@@paulwilson126 welcome to lantern collecting! its an addiction, but a great one. ive had lanterns since i was in the scouts as a kid but didnt get back "IN TO" it till last year. i enjoy it. its great theropy. the embury air pilot is one of my favorites. they are built like a tank! same with all the embury's. my other addiction is photography. i cant wait till the colors get rolling here! happy hunting!

those cold blast RR lanterns are growing on me. glad i got such a nice example for my firt one. and thanks!

@chefbirdland vista grew on me because it is tubular ..old lady posted one on fb market place no paint 35 dollars. Date 1924 very clean unmarked railroad. And wife wanted a adlake but rr lanterns not my thing either

thanks! glad you like it. tho i have had to edit out a few screams from time to time haha.

@@williamfrederick3849 with a name like kroil you gotta creep around lol 😆

​@chefbirdland good stuff but fumes will wish you didn't use much . Intoxicating

@@davedavis3467 yeah thats why i like finding lanterns with no paint already lol

thanks! flashlight vids are getting more views than expected, i will search for more for sure. glad you l;like new angle, i knew to was time for a change. picked up a great tripod at an auction, still in the box. it's a little bit of a pain changing angles on the fly but ill get used to it lol

yeah, i just picked up a battery today. will do a video with 3 old flashlights to see if they work. should have it up later. a $15 battery was just not in the budget, for lights ill hardly use lol. thanks for watching

no need. but thanks for the comment

i love finding lanterns like that. thats how i started collecting!

@@gobigrey9352 I may be wrong. I am a lot lol . But that's my understanding. And all my wartime lanterns are bare . Hello from the group!

thanks. it was brutal lol

@@chefbirdland yea, that soldering under foot looked kinda tricky. Good job! Btw, how did you remove the burn marks? Acetone?

@@jasper60103 that was just burnt paint. All gone after stripping paint. Yeah that cage leg was a pain. But learned I had to dig down to total bare metal for solder to bond. I wasn't digging deep enough.

@@chefbirdland thanks for the details. I’m learning a lot.

@@jasper60103 I'm glad

haha my fumble fingers. i was so happy when the brasso worked so well on that reflector

@@JohnChrysostom101 good to know, thanks!

hey dave. about a week in to using linseed i started adding a little kerosene. had more than one recommendation so i went with it. im still using the usual metal bits. tho ive never used the brass ones. just the steel ones. but i picked up a box of those abrasive buffing wheels a few weeks ago. i like them more every day. but they go fast. i just got more. i will send you the links to them. and yeah the cheap fake dremmel bits fall apart. ive actual had to have doctor remove those lil wires from my foot. im done with those.

lol i was never going to "take" it from this comet. i been looking to find a parts comet. i have 4 of them. im still looking for a crown to this day

thanks man

thank you. solder is a 40/60, acid core. I should be using a 60/40 rosin core but i was out. the thin stuff is a pain with a torch.

welcome to collecting! the embury no.2 air pilot is a great lantern. one of my favorites! they are built very strong. i have a few videos of those on my channel. maybe they will help you figure out how to get it cleaned up and working with little effort. good luck!

so glad! feel free to ask all the questions you like. happy hunting!

@@chefbirdland I came across one with a clear lense. Everything looks to be intact except for the broken globe. Can see some rust in the tank. Fingers crossed. 🤞

@@jasper60103 good luck!

@@chefbirdlandone thing that concerns me is I haven’t seen a clear bullseye version of this lantern anywhere online ? I’m wondering if it was changed?

@@jasper60103 thats true. i too, have found next to nothing online about them. they are quite rare. tell me why that would be a concern?

excellent! im so glad i kept buying those $2 cheap lanterns at yard sales. the globes and filler caps have come in very handy.
