    Not much that I’m able to find online about this early model. Maybe circa 1916? Anyone able to share insight, or vintage advertising? I’ve got everything loose, and need to put a new leather in the primer.
    Thanks,

    1917 to 1919.
    Bolté & Weyer was founded in 1905 but the company name changed in 1917 to Bolté Mfg at 125 S Racine, Chicago but by 1920 C. Rueckert & Co were advertising lamps as successors to Bolté Mfg. So there’s just a two or three year window when this was made. ::Neil::

    Ok, replaced the leather, got it to fire up, but I am in need of a new(er) 1/4” burner tube. Mine is pretty rotted, and was not giving me a steady burn, after I removed the debris and corrosion. Any leads on this part would be appreciated.
