    This is Akron model A made in 1919 for perhaps less than a year. A rare beast which has the same burner as the model 92 table lamp. ::Neil::

    Thanks Neil. Its new to me. Seems to have a sound fount, but a bit crusty inside. It passes air thru the generator. No beauty queen eh?

    An excellent restoration project and considering that it's almost 100 years old it's condition is pretty good! :thumbup:
