    This is a US-made Col-Max 333 made in 1941 (no other date stamp).

    Found in Australia, it had been stored somewhere very damp and required some concerted fettling.

    I’ve posted a thread on fettling this lantern here.

    The lantern has been photographed with a Schott glass, but the lantern came with its original Col-Max glass.
