I found a pressure lantern Hipolito H302/350, a used one. I am new to these lanterns so I would have some questions.
What is the manufacturer "Hipolito" and where is this lantern made?
Is it possible to know what is the age of the lantern (approximately) ?
Are Petromax parts suitable for this lantern? It looks quite much the same. Probably I will need parts like needle, jet, gaskets, etc.
What kind of a lantern is this, is it good or bad? I just bought it as the price was very affordable. I wanted a one
which I can try to restore.
I am thinkin should I just try the lantern to see if it works or put it already in pieces and start polishing. It looks quite terrible for the beginning. It is not rust but some sort of oxidation. Is it possible to make it shine again?
