Mid 1917 - 18 QL327

Several holdover features from the first gen 327's and early 323's. Such as flat filler bung, round face valve wheel, and lighting door frame. New features that started showing up around August of 1917 are the hex filler cap, 7/16" gland nut with valve safety stop, and second generation Quicklite mixing chamber with shorter 3" burner tubes.

















Here is the first variant of QL327 in the link below if one was interested in comparing the two.

Very nice, Toby.

I note the slightly off-centre central hole in the cast brass burner.

Very nice lantern.

That is lovely, just the right balance of age and patina.
It's spurring me on to finish my 20s 327

Great lantern - looks like it has seen some use !

 

A truly grand old lantern.

 

It always amazes me about QL's that you can buy one today and get that 100 year old lantern to run again with the snap of a finger. Coleman magic.

 

Thank you all for the kind words. I've been called Quicklite nuts

 

Very pretty
