One of those lucky lucky finds at a small estate/auction. Never expected to see something like this and virtually zero interest from anyone but me. I was more than okay with that. It's good to be lucky. Looks to be dated 1917 or at least shipped in that year if I am reading what I think is a Custom's document? Small tag on lantern bottom has Pat date of 1915. Came in the solid original case and lot's of original paperwork and a couple goodies like the wrench and the preheater thing. Lantern looks to be in great shape. Pretty happy with this find.
A splendid find indeed! Perhaps you could add the paperwork to the relevant page in this forum's library.
