    Prentis-Wabers L13 from the mid 1930's. Vent, mica globe and metal work in excellent condition, the tank is showing some paint loss but is dent free. Maybe a repaint would finish this one off. The lantern is shown running although the original generator was broken. I have used a Coleman 200a generator to get it up and running with panel wipe for fuel and a couple of Coleman 21 mantles.

    This would be L13G with a mica globe the same lantern with glass is L13GH. I have it in a 1934 cataogue which gives a consumption of 12-15 hours on a quart of gasoline. That is a tad over one and a half real English pints and makes it about 250 to 300 cp. This model is not listed in 1936 so mid 1930s is right on the money. Nice to see it running. ::Neil::
