    This is basically a Gloria model 12 Oxo-Gas but with a globe base fitter I have never seen on any Gloria. The tank, filler cap, controls, generator, burner and vent hood with bail tabs are correct for a model 12. The perforated metal globe base plate however does seem to make this a Tures. Interesting lamp because the only illustration we have for this makes it look like a Crystal-Lite lantern but this is clearly too big for that. I have it listed as Tures model C but this is not quite that as the bail fitter is different. ::Neil::

    @Mackburner definitely a Tures I think the instruction sheet has caused confusion over the years as I thought it was crudely drawn however now one has finally turned up it it clears it all up
    FYI my Tures lantern vent is identical to my Gloria 12 lantern vent so I understand why it happened
    Hope u r well mate

    Hello Andrew,
    I stand corrected, a Tures it is.
    Now I need to find one in the wild.
    Cheers
    Mark.
