    This is an Austramax “Austragas” propane lantern.

    It is shown in this 1972 catalogue posted by @ROBBO55:

    The box will be “shellacked” and used to transport the lantern.

    It came with Companion mantles.

    I have the lantern running off a Primus gas bottle.

    Not my usual taste in lanterns, but required for some of the places I go to.


    Cheers

    My usual taste in lanterns however, so thanks for posting Tony. The mantle inspection window in the frosted glass is a nice touch.

    I knew you’d appreciate it.

    I’ve got some more propane/butane gear to post over time.


    Cheers
