    He means the handle you grab when moving the lamp.
    That handle between the tank and the burner shall be the other way around.

    There's no other 159 posted in here, but it shall be positioned the same way as on this 157:

    Hello Tonebone.

    I just had a 159x arrive. Jan '52 It has the globe but not the hood that I see on yours.

    If it isn't too much trouble would you be able to photograph the hood and attaching bolt so I have an idea of what to look for?

    Yes, nice lamp, but is the glass globe not also upside down?

    On closer inspection, no it is not. I was confused by the outward curling lower lip of the globe. The globes I have do not have that outward curve at the bottom.
