    Hello All,

    I recently bought a Sears Jr (Prentiss-Waber) lantern (c1938) and need a globe. The one that came with it, while a decent vintage Coleman globe does not fit properly. Does anyone have a source for replacement globes, other than oldcolemanparts.com? While OCP is a great company they do not have the globe I need.
    Also, does anyone make or modify globes? That may be another path to follow.
    Regards,
    Burns R

    I find it's really hard to find parts for AGM, PW etc. except another donor lantern or buy one complete already. OCP has a few items like the Nulite gennys. Even old Coleman stuff there is rare, I lucked out a couple years ago to nab a genny for my rare 454 stove.
    Good luck.

    I bought some of these borosilicate candle holders for strait sided globes on my Coleman's (I etched them also)... While I can't personally confirm that it will work on your Prentiss I was told by others on the CCF that they worked great.
