    USA evilbay item 124865788886. Photos still don't show key bits. What model is this from completed sales? My search does not come up with a model, only came up with a model from Terry Marsh site that it has no #. Early AGM lanterns. Thank you.

    I know of others watching that and I believe it was a 335.

    @Randy Field, looks slightly different with that disc in the middle. Will be two then that I have, will have to wait and see if it is. The chimney looks to be in much better shape, can't make out its condition with the poor photos. More costly than the one I recently won. Valve knob is in better shape on this one.

    You are right. I didnt see that in the thumbnail pic I viewed. That looks more like a storm king setup.

    Price was almost twice what I paid for the 335 I received. Chimney looks to be better and has a pump. That must be it, the pump added value. :)
    I thought I was going to quit buying lanterns! Still a long ways to go to catch up with my stove count. Andy thought it might be another 335, but the heat shield throws us. Nothing here in the Reference Gallery.

    AGM 335, a couple features differ from my other one. My first one has a groove in the fuel filler bung to allow the fuel cap washer to seal better and has a little bigger knob on the pricker mechanism. After a lye bath, very little crud came out of the fount, nickel cleaned up well, a bad plating area below the valve, maybe that side was exposed to weather. Fired right up, ran the pricker a couple times was all, minor flooding, these with the heavier duty gennys seem to be that way, even after hitting with a torch for a short time. Runs smooth, needed to torch the fuel cap to loosen it, some auto gas in the fount, so dried that out after rinsing with white gas then the lye bath. Chimney came out nice after a citric acid bath, just some cracks in the mica, no holes.

    Holds pressure, have lit it three times now, did release pressure once before remembering I wanted to light it again to check a brief, slight flame by the pricker lever. Bright, due to the large burner cap with ceramic insert, tied on a big mantle.

    Thank you guys. I believe this has many more cool features than Coleman lanterns that I have seen, all combined into one lantern.
