- This lantern is one of the smallest storm lanterns ever made.
It was really rusted and therefore very hard to restore.
In fact, there was the tank cap, that couldn't be saved due to the severe rust.
So I temporarily replaced it with the 3D printed one, I designed.
About the lantern.
The lantern was made in Germany by a company called Fröhlich & Wolter - FROWO. The Frowo No. 45 Was produced between the years 1937 and 1943.
It is 16.5 cm high and is designed cold-blast lantern.
It is made of crimped-together sheet-metal stampings.
The cold-blast design means that the cold fresh air is drawn in from around the chimney and is then fed through the side tubes to the flame, making it burn brighter.
Thanks for watching. - Jak na to + styl
Excellent restoration. Very impressive with your fabricating skills.
Thanks for the positive comment. Yes, the 3D design and printing can come in really handy with restoration projects.
Nice Work👍 enjoyed watching 🇺🇸
I never took my restorations that far. Lol. Mine are so rusted I'd probly break every tab on them. Great job. 👍
I like the Idea of using the latest technology to repair/improve the things of yesteryear. Really nice job. Thanks for sharing.
Couldn't agree more. Thanks.
Really good restoration but had you painted in silver instead of jet black, it had looked still original .thanx for restoring.
Great job.👍 that small lantern it cute
You’re good at restoring things 👍👍👍
Glad you like it.
Don't stop keep going and good luck 🌹
Thank you.
I found that soaking it in ammonia cleans off a LOT of stuff, including most of the rust.
excellent thank you!
Not sure what you used to seal the fount (tank) but you may want to consider using a small amount of automotive gas tank sealer. Coat the inside real well and let it cure and it should seal up all those hole and the different fuels will not eat through it.
Great restoration. That cute little lamp turned out great!
How do you find a glass for one of these your restoration job looks pretty good
Great job! I have a frowo kind of like this that I will be working on soon. Part of the burner is missing, and the large stamped part that attaches after the burner has a major rust hole in it. I wonder if it is possible to repair something like that or if I have to go buy a replacement.
Either you have enormous hands, or that is a tiny lantern. :)
My hands are average. 😁 and this is one of the smallest lanterns ever made. 👍
what is that paste that you use to seal the holes? I never knew you can do that... I wish I knew I throw away a few because I thought it was a done deal.
It is a two component putty. Used in automotive repair also.
@@everytool8557 Oh I see do you happen to have the brand name at hand? I have one lantern left that I didn't throw away I just found it after I left the message and I would like to give it a shot. Thanks.....
What paint did you use?
I used 2 component acrylic paint. I was thinking about some high temp color. But after getting some information from other restorators, I chose regular colour. It kinda burns on surface... So far so good.
I thought my 19 cm lantern was tiny.
You RUINED it. The rustic look is something you want, now yours looks like a plastic dollar store crap.
what color did you paint the lamp with?
