I think, it's a "Monopol Hermetus" from Westmark. Maybe, you can get there more informations about it.
Thanks for posting the website for Westmark.
I wouldn't mind buying one of those bottle opener/sealer if they would only ship to the U.S.?
Looking at their online catalog website, it does not give a price or to click where to add to a basket? It just gives you locations to their stores.

Well I went back and found that particular post and found out that it was posted on that thread back in 2014 and the individual who posted it is from Croatia.
So if there is one out there, then there has to be more, more than just one of those particular Petromax bottle openers out there in Europe somewhere.
Its just a matter of finding them.
Again, if anyone knows where one can be located at send me a PM.
Thanks.

:how cool:
Nice one : Hail:, where to buy?
Well that is a good question and I wish I knew and if you ever find out please let me know!
Actually, I just happen to come across that picture of a Petromax bottle opener on another forum (nothing to do with lanterns) when the thread subject was about posting your "bottle openers" and someone posted that one.
I was surprised to say the least when I came across it.
For me, it definitely would be nice to have one since I'm into lanterns and I sure there are others here that probably feel the same.
I just thought that just maybe someone here would have one of those.
So again if by chance anyone has one and is willing to part with it please, please send me a PM !
Thanks in advance!

How many here actually has one of these?
I think that this would be pretty cool to have!

Congratulations, very good fettling.
How did you manage to get an original Aida glass globe?
These are rare birds.
Thanks!
I was very fortunate enough to receive a PM from a forum member in another forum ( because I had inquired in a few other forums) that he had an extra one and that he was willing to sell it to me.
So of course I not only glad but jumped on the opportunity to buy it.
Yes, those particular glass globes are rare as hen's teeth but one never knows if one doesn't ask.
Again, many, many thank you's to Richard for selling it to me!

Here it is lit up.

Here are pictures of the restore process.
-
Here are a few pictures before the restoration.
The lantern looked as though it was hopeless to restore but it was salvaged.
-
Also, here are pictures of the other lantern, that was also fully restored.
It is an early model Coleman 200A lantern.

Hi,
you did a great job! Nice...
Best regards Carsten
Thank you very much sir!

Here are a few pictures of what it looked like before restoration.

Here it is fully restored, using all of it's original parts, all clean, washed and scrubbed along with a new glass globe, lead washers and rubber vinton washer.
Oh and yes, the Pressure Gauge still does work as it originally should.

Hello everyone!
Currently I'm in the process of restoring an Aida Express 1500 500cp lantern.
The most sad part of it all, other than it's current condition, is that the original glass globe for it was broken in pieces.
When I restore something I try to at least keep everything original if possible though I know that is not always the case.
Though still I would like to know if there is anyone out there that would just have an original glass globe in good condition.
If so please send me a PM!
Thank you for your time and response.
Respectfully,
Mr. Lantern

Alright as promised here are both X246B's lit up!
-
here are two Tilley X246B Stormlight lanterns that were sent to me (here in Texas U.S.A.) all the way from England.
The seller had two of them, one was never used and the other had been used.
It took a little over two months to receive them and while I was waiting for them I decided to replace the original Burners,Vapourizers and Control Cocks on both, with all brass parts.
Also replaced all the seals, leather pump cups, springs, etc. and added insect covers as well.
After a good cleaning and refurbishing on both here they are ready to go!
I will post pictures of both lit up on my next posting.
-
Never mind everyone my mistake.
Please disregard my original post.
After reading extensively about the Tilley X246B Stormlight lantern and looking at the X246B diagram, I realize that it does not rely on an NRV (Check Valve) concept.
My apologies for my error.
-
Anyone here know what the exact tool is used to remove the NRV (Check Valve) on a Tilley X246B Stormlight lantern?
What is the part number (if there is one) for the tool?
Where can I buy the tool and or from who?
What is the exact part number the NRV (Check Valve) from the Tilley X246B?
Where can I buy a NRV replacement?
Thank you everyone in advance for your time and assistance.

Please no commercial left.
