Nice work! As another commenter mentioned, the lever on the side of the lantern is used to lift the globe for lighting. Also, you don't want your flame to be any higher than about an inch or so. If your flame is too high, you'll get soot and excessive heat, both of which are bad for the globe (I had a globe crack on me because of a misshappen wick that caused the flame to be too high and off-center.) I collect these old cold blast style lanterns and love them. They're real workhorses. They're great for emergencies and for ambient lighting. Remarkably safe too.

Мне очень нравится, когда возвращают к жизни старае вещи, которые долго служили людям. Сто лет назад при этой лампе кто-то сидел за столом, читал, вязал, писал письма, пил вечерний чай. А может, с этой лампой обходили вечером свой двор, искали любимого пса))) когда её ставили у окна, с улицы было видно, что дома ждут, не ложатся спать.... Старые домашние вещи хранят историю, напоминают об ушедших людях и сохраняют традиции семьи. Как хорошо, что вы их реставрируете! 👍

These lanterns are the coolest things ever!

I FINALLY FOUND IT!!!! I have an old lantern that was given to me by my grandpa before he passed away and it is in really good shape. I've been looking for another one on internet for years and I'm so amazed to see another one that looks exactly like the one I have!!! I mean, I've seen lots of feuerhands and this is the model, I'm 100% sure! The way you restored it, just amazing. I'm even more excited to start the restoration of mine (it'll be easier since mine don't have any rust at all) and it's amazing to know that I have something from 1912!!! My grandpa was only a 7 year old boy at the time. I'm so happy, thanks for the amazing video.

I just lit my grandpa's 275 Feuerland last night, think he got it in the 1940s, been in my closet for like 23 or so years. Lit right up.

very nice. my only complaint is that you painted the inside of the fuel cap. that might make the threads stick if the fuel melts the paint and it fuses.

The statement OLD is GOLD is really true

You did a lovely job on the lamp! NICELY Done! Thank you for the video!

:) :) :) 'Feuerhand', good one. Every morning I filled the lanterns, washed and polished the chimneys, kept the wicks trimmed. My special job and I was so proud of myself, still am. I'm going to your channel to see if you have a bullseye lantern.

Great work 👍👍💯💯

This kind of lamp is also with me and I have reused it and now it looks amazing same like new one and I love old materials

I agree - I live in the Sierra Nevadas and we get winter storms that take out the power about twice a year on average and we use several oil lanterns and also led lanterns in combination to light the house - It's a great combination. It's good to keep extra lamp oil and wicks on hand to light these old style oil lanterns and be prepared for when the worst happens.

@@PatrolOfficer161 if you lower the WIC it'll shut off. sometimes I do it sometimes I just blow it out I don't know it works for me good luck. if you have one they're great to have one case of an emergency I lived with it for 5 months got no complaints thank God I had them..

That was totally relaxing and awesome to watch

That took a lot of time and effort its nice to see someone cares enough to want to restore old things and make them look brand new again. I would love to do things like that if i had the budget to buy the equipment and I'm a woman. You did a great job on the lantern.

I’m not a mechanical type girl at all, but I find these videos satisfying. ☺️

I liked the way that turned out. Lovely colour combination. The electrolysis cleaning method worked better than expected. I use vinegar for my rusty parts but have been toying with the idea of electrolysis . Good job mate 👍🇦🇺

you do beautiful work i like the colors

DAAAAAmn that was beautiful work

Great job

Turned out great!

My entire childhood spend with this lantern i love it

I am a Coleman gas lover and recently got a new Dietz 80.. My mom has a bunch of old lanterns and gave me a czech Meva 864 that is a little rough. Gotta clean the tank and get a new wic but since my 3 year old son loves lanterns I am going to let him work on it with me. It will be his own little oil lantern

funnnily enough, i found once of these over at my grandpas place while chopping trees. i was looking for a way to clean it and here you are with the exact type i have. amazing coincidence

I wish every school teach something like this. It is great video

La restauration demande de l'amour, la patience, les connaissances et les outils nécessaires. J'ai tout sauf les outils nécessaires, alors je fais avec les "moyens de bord". Le résultat n'est pas aussi éclatant mais c'est le mien et j'adore.

Quedó como nuevo . Yo tengo uno tiene cómo 35 años pero lo mantengo como si fuera nuevo solo lo usé dos veces. Excelente su trabajo.

Well done! 😃👌🏼
