    A few more photos might be more definitive (filler cap, generator, control wheel, burners...) but I'd hazard a guess on what I can see that it's an L427 (or LQ427), but the pump knob looks like an earlier model.

    Looks to be an August 1925 Canadian 427. Fun little lanterns :thumbup:

    Some US variants. These should have mica chimneys with sliding lighting doors.

    Hi Daryl From What I can see yes it’s a 427 and as you can see it comes in a few variations of pump tops
    I don’t believe it’s Canadian as the founts are normally stamped “Made in Canada” and the baffle plates are imprinted as well . It has a Canadian vent which I suspect was mixed up at one stage in its life
    Canadian Quicklites rarely turn up here in Aus as I don’t think they started exports here till the 30s from memory ( could be a bit out) and Canadian L427s are not very common at all even in Canada

    @Darryl Durdin is there any stamping on the baffle plate below the burner?

    @Akeepsake only double digit year stamp Coleman's in the 20's I'm aware of were built in Canada... If it's an export model, maybe it was stamped differently.
