@rollschmidts The Whitworth pattern thread is 36 t.p.i. and the diameter is 0.340 inch which is a little smaller than 11/32 inch (11/32 = 0.34375...
@Ophidia No, not 500ish c.p. Even though it's only a single mantle lantern, it's more akin to a Coleman 220 / 228
@kephart I suspect too little fuel . . At least half a tank full. Also, check that the filter on the fuel pickup tube is clean. maybe the...
Yes, parts are compatible.
@JEFF JOHNSON I've linked this to the Lamps In Film and Print section because of the Tilley TL10 seen beween 4:27 and 4:43
You can get a 302 glass from Base-camp (limited stocks) as are #312 mantle and #313 air silencer button. Alas, the new old stock burners they once...

Possibly a gas lamp ? Put an upright mantle over possibly missing burner parts in red ring? [ATTACH]
I think this tube was for a cleaning needle. [ATTACH] The only lamp I know with such a cleaning needle is AIDA. I can't find an example in the...
A bit of a mystery with the flare-up, the clean flames on your test burn without a mantle are a classic example of what one is looking for. I...
