Disano 1203 Kenia Bought from a fellow collector, the Disano lantern is my 200'th lantern to enter the collection. Its certainly a cheap and cheerful lantern by a mile, but it still retains some quality about it. I believe the lantern saw 8 years installed, mostly of disuse. It was a casual replacement for a Thorn Gamma 8, and was fitted with a metal halide lamp to blend in with the mercury installation. Its a tiny lantern, but it still retains some character about it imo. Overall, the lanterns in an amazing condition, featuring an clear and unyellowed polycarbonate bowl, unscorched paintwork, and mint condition internals. I had been after an example for a long time, so this one was a very welcome acquisition.

Great acquisition

I am still looking for smaller lantern of similar, but even more distinct style, from the 60s..early 80s. That one had a GLS lamp, diffuse PMMA cover, and a hat that reminds of Snufkin's hat

Lol Dave's carpet showing the ring marks of many a 76mm lantern resting there Cool

Hahaha I didn't actually see the marks in the carpet, I think its cause I moved this round about 80 times just messing with it and getting it lit.
