*Edit: Lantern later identified as a Doud. Read posts below in the thread. I am not sure of the date of this lantern and I don't have a real model number for it either. There is a long list of Gloria lamps that I can't put a model to so for those with no number I have designated a letter to identify them. These are NOT Gloria model numbers they are my invention. The company was prolific but paper is scarce and I don't have anything for Gloria after about 1917. I assume 1920 ish for this one because of the design style. I am not even sure what fuel it was designed for although with a supplementary generator heater I assume it is likely to be a kerosene burner.
Hi ! There's quite a few simularities with my posting of Gloria under Australia. 1918 GLORIA LIGHT COMPANY ....mick
Yes some of these Gloria lamps are an interesting take on the technology available. I am desperate for more paper though. I have well over 25 models listed that I can't put a number to. Got to be paper out there surely? ::Neil::
Indeed yes it's taken years to ID this one correctly and it's not a Gloria. It is a Doud model 35 kerosene lantern from about 1921/22. I finally IDd it from this advert image from Larry Hillhouse. I assume the gasoline version would lack the generator heater tube so this one with the heater will be the kero version.
