Vintage Brass
| Brass carbide miners lamps are general with cavers. There are innovative reproductions available, but a heap of people like to get authenti vintage models to use. If the lamps aren't in working condition, they still make a lovely display. The old brass polishes up nicely. Some retired miners gather them. To clean the lamp, you'll need the following: * Glass stove top cleaner * Brasso * Chrome cleaner * Hair dryer * Old tooth brush * Old tee shirts When I begin cleaning an old brass lamp, I remove the flint from the striker. which is located on the reflector. Just unscrew the cap and turn the lamp over and the flint and spring will have to fall out into your hand. Then I empty the fuel tank and flush it out with water. If you want your Vintage Brass Miners Lamp to retain an aged patina after it's clean, try using glass stove top cleaner and an old tooth brush. First scrub the lamp with the glass cleaner, using the toothbrush to clean the crevices,then rinse with water. After you get all the cleaner rinsed off, arid the lamp parts with a hair dryer set on low. It takes me when it comes to 45 minutes to clean the brass percentage of the lantern. If you want your brass to shine like new, use Brasso. It works actually well! Brasso is also abrasive, so be careful how much you rub. When you are done with the brass it will be a shiny brassy brown. Some persons like to use Limeaway to speed up the job, but I don't. It will save you a little scrubbing but if you leave the lamp in the solution too long the brass will turn pink. To clean the reflector, I use chrome cleaner (available from automati elements stores) and rub until clean with an old tee-shirt. When you're finished, buff the entire lap with clean tee-shirt material, and then reassemble it. You'll be rather pleased with the results!

The Brass Mystery " !! on the end cap of the air chamber is stamped . the benjamin air rifle co. saint louis usa super single shot patented # 300.. the air chamber plunger is sealed with the use of a flat piece of leather contrary to the progressed day rubber o-ring ..thank you for your support in my search . There has never been a "Benjamin Franklin" airgun company. The "Benjamin Franklin" in quotes is a play(joke) on the Benjamin Air Rifle Company name http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2009/08/benjamin-front-pump-pistol-part-1.html Scroll down the page, to the initial photo, for the comprehensible statement of "Benjamin Franklin" These guys might be capable to help http://www.pyramydair.com/blog/2005/07/co2-and-pneumatic-guns-where-to-get.html Tim McMurray http://www.mac1airgun.com George Pena For the value, I would take a look at the Crosman now owns the Benjamin Air Rifle Co http://www.crosman.com Airgun forum http://www.network54.com/forum/79537 If you like, you may in all probability find others that own the same rifle. Added I did not give "Okieroad" a TD, his answer may not be exclusively correct, but he surely was not rude, measuredly misleading, or dispensing destructive information. |
