Ya know, when you said you had a carbide lamp, I thought you were talking about a miner's head lamp. This is waaaaaaayyyyyyy cooler.

Did you ever look into those carbide canons? Dooooo Ittttt !

A little flitz and a dremel buffing wheel should clean it all up including the reflecter. I have a friend in his mid eighties that knew this town's street lighter. He filled the them with carbide as needed and lit them at dusk. He also cleaned and polished the mirrors and light glass. Not the cleanest light but better than the old oil street lights.

Thanks for hanging with me brother, I appreciate it!

[@ivancrews4361]

I have one of these exact lanterns but cannot use it... It is missing the slotted canister that is friction fitted and can't find one... Know where one could be found?..

[@louiewiessv5756]

Wished you could have lite it up!

[@honorableoutfitters]

Coming up friend! Thanks for the interest and feedback!

That’s an amazing lantern. Like others, I had immediately thought of miners’ lamps. Thomas “Carbide” Willson was a Canadian who discovered how to create calcium carbide. He lived and had a plant in Ottawa-Gatineau (Ontario/Quebec). The plant is now in ruins, but his house is owned by the Canadian government - it was the site of the Meech Lake constitutional negotiations (for those interested in Canadian politics).

Thanks for the great history!

[@ericzaiz8358]

Great Now Im wondering if they made a combo Carbide lamp stove/waterboiler deal. Be a real nice camp piece.

[@honorableoutfitters]

In some ways I wouldn't be surprised!

[@Richard-r1x7d]

Can you still get new ones

[@honorableoutfitters]

I have not seen any modern carbide lanterns. You can still find carbide lamps

[@wetcanoedogs]

i have a couple miners lamps that i'll light up in camp to throw a bit of light around without having to get a flashlight out.the first time i tried one was at my workshop bench in the basement.it really stunk! that is a real fancy one,what was it used for?

[@honorableoutfitters]

The stink is something that surprised me! Luckily my Justrite isn't smelly unless I'm loading with carbide or emptying out the carbide mush. :) What's your perspective on the light casting in camp or even the ambiance?

[@wetcanoedogs]

@@honorableoutfitters in a smaller camp in canoe country it casted enough light to see around without bumping into something. i just set it pointing across and because of the open flame i don't carry it around much. carbide was hard to find years ago but i see some survival places have it.more for fun than really needing it.
