    Hi fellas,
    I believe it’s an Akron 103, age ?
    For the knowledgeable ?
    How can you tell if it’s gasoline or kerosene?
    It looks all there, no meth cup

    Thank you @JEFF JOHNSON for the leads. It is definitely a cool lantern.
    I have dismantled the lantern to find that the generator is not original but a good alternative. The what looks like a Coleman generator braised onto what may have been the original s bend generator. I assume it works. Does any of you fellas know where I may source a replacement generator? To keep with it’s original look. IMG_2086.jpeg IMG_2085.jpeg IMG_2084.jpeg IMG_2083.jpeg
