    The 1019 would be W, not M, making it 1932. That is earlier than I thought they made the 1019, but it is good to learn something new. Good condition for a steel lamp as well.

    The burner assembly for the 1019 looks strange as well. The bracket holding the flame spreader is missing, which is screwed directly to the end of the mixing tube. Does this look home made?

    Happy fettling. But give us more fotos. I dont think that it is W for 1932. It looks like number 11 and date code is missing (rust).... 1019.jpg


    When it is from 1932 as Nils said, then it needs a handle with hook, a special type of preheater cup (first variation of 1020) and a two-piece enameled had...

    I think you are right. That would also fit better if the 1019 is later than 1932.

    @Lahtinen I am still interested in the unusual burner. If it is placed together with the correct parts, then it must have come from the 1020 and not the 1019. That burner parts (to the left) would make the 1019 correct and standard for a lantern from between 1934 and 1937.
