    I recently found this lantern. There is no brand name on it. Is it a Thermidor 303? The stamping on the bottom, could this be a date?
    There's only a small plate on the tank, with "made in Engeland " on it

    Yes, a Thermidor 303.
    My encounter with one is HERE.

    I found that the vapouriser ceases to vapourise after a while and resolved the problem with THIS adaptation.

    That’s a date stamp on the base plate, indeed. The ‘Made in England’ plaque isn’t something I’ve seen.

    Thermidor is a Samuel Heath & Sons brand and they also made stoves, the link below shows the relevant page.
