Life is funny. For 35 years I have wanted one of these Renser Ultra light oil lanterns made in the 1960s. People talked about them, they had seen one, but did not know who made it or where to buy one. The lantern became a mythical unicorn. Lots of people knew about them but no one had one. Kind of forgot about them 20 years ago.
Started looking again a year or so ago. I wanted to at least find a picture or who made it. After searching internet for hours I finally found a lantern on Ebay way over priced but I had a name to work with. Spent hours on resale sites, found one and it was reasonable priced until I paid for shipping and tracking. Second one was in a box of vintage camping gear being sold as a lot. 20 bucks….. but I drove 90 miles one way. Nothing else in box had any value. https://www.reddit.com/r/Backpacking_Stoves/comments/1qta0sm/roberts_stove/
The second lantern does not have the Ultra Light name on lantern but is identical in every other way. I got the second lantern because I was reluctant to use the first lantern as I was afraid I would break it.
Found one a month ago, and then a week later I find another one
