    Hello everyone!.

    A friend of mine was given this Chinese kerosene lantern. The globe was missed or defintely broken. Could you I.d its model? What's the globe's model/number?, Any date?If there is any. The item seems to be okay and it also has its wick.

    Have a nice day you all!

    255 Anchor is a valid model number. I think it may be the same as a MEVA 865 that was also made in China.
    You will just have to find one that fits I guess.

    I just noticed that the Meva I posted has a Chalwyn globe fitted.. Chalwyn also sold a Meva made lantern.

    I've only known Anchor as a pressure lantern manufacturer... so they made wickies as well!

    I don't own any, but some of the guys over at the CCS sister site might well have them.
