Bialaddin 315

    Hi here are some pics of one of my lanterns a bialaddin 315 this model was produced in the 1960's a realy nice well made solid lantern about 350CP these are a nice basic easy to operate and i like the preheater torch on these that slips over the vapouriser/generator tube.


    This lantern is in the condition i purchased it i only changed the washers on the filler cap and it fired up a treat i have had this lantern now for a couple of years

    Hi Fox it is a wick when spirit is poured into the cup it soaks it up, to be honest i prefer these primming cups over the tilley primming torch as it is far harder to loose and when the lantern is used in realy cold weather you can fill the cup and then wait for the wick to soak up the spirit and the top the cup up this realy does give a good flame and burns for a good while to rearly prime the lamp
