Knight Light, model ?? with Otto Bernz pump

H View attachment 52000 I recently acquired this unfired, untouched badged Knight Light sporting an Otto Bernz pump.
It’s copper plated over steel and has the single burner AGM 335 torchlight assy I suspect it’s dated around 1917
but I’m not sure what model it is as Neil has a couple of options on his catalog , 312 and ?? .
Very happy to have this one and the temptation to fire a 100 you old lantern is killing me !!
If anyone has any more info I’d love to here from you

 

I don't know how you can hold back from a light up. very nice piece.

 

An excellent find!

 

Nice find @Akeepsake
It intrigued me that it had an inbuilt pump but also had the valve in the filler cap for an external pump.
This article gives a possible explanation. Knight Light Lantern with Otto Bernz Pump.

 

Hi Rob055 thanks for the article! Yes I’ve read similar and tend to agree that these were a “after fit” by OB I know of two other identical ones

 

Thanks for sharing that article!

 

@Akeepsake

Did you pick that up in Australia?

I have seen a few of these. It's a Knight Lite model 312 with an aftermarket OB pump. I suspect it was a factory job perhps by OB and should be considered as an official variation of 312. ::Neil::

 

AMAZING, YOU GOTTA LIGHT IT

 

Tony this one came from a mate In US

 

Thanks Neil
