    I am a bit doubtful if this is an original model or not. Might be a custom lamp converted from a ordinary lantern.
    All parts are original and the stem looks very good, almost like industrial manufactured.
    But the exstension rising tube inside it seems to be of a later date than the rest.
    Anyone that has heard of, or seen this before?

    Hi Bo, this lamp/lantern looks a bit odd to me. It looks like someone has simply added a piece to make it higher. As a table lamp, I would think a bigger (wider) fount would be advisable for stability reasons. Also, who needs the hanging/carrying loop on a table lamp? :-k
    Anyhow, it is a rather unique, nice addition to your collection!

    All the best,

    Wim

    Hello Bo, it's a neat table lantern, but i reckon that it's a hybrid, Jeff.

    I'd also have some doubts because any bending force on the stem is concentrated to a small area around the fitting, or even on the fitting itself. Therefore regular table lamps usually have a cone or something similar below the stem in order to distribute the forces to a wider area on top of the tank.

    I agree with you all, this is probably a bastard.
