    Really can't say. Which country did you find that lamp in?
    Please show some more details before a neutral background. Remove the globe and take some image of the inside.

    It's a hollow wire lamp, and it looks very much like what they call N:o 24 in a Swedish catalogue.
    The light itself is called "Helios".

    I don't know if it actually is Swedish.
    The illustration showing the tank for the lamp says "Standard Light C:o". Standard light in Chicago, that is, so probably that's the actual manufacturer also of the lamp, and this company "Helios-light" may just be the Swedish distributor/importer.

    Also a good lamp.
    Could be a Coleman but there were a few around that looked about the same.

    The second lamp may be a Nulite.

    And you're still sitting around writing on the forum? I would be all over those two beauties in a New York minute if I were you! Grab 'em both, Doug! If you do not want them for yourself, I'm sure a few members here will be happy to trade you for them...

    @JEFF JOHNSON

    I have one of these lamps that I believe was marketed by Coleman as a 1A, simply because it came with a green porcelain canopy.

    I have pondered these lamps for quite some time. They certainly aren't Coleman technology yet Coleman sold them as their 1A Model. I *think* they may have been manufactured by Incandescent Light & Supply, I do have it in the back of my head that I had another candidate as to whom manufactured these lamps but I can't recall whom without looking at notes (that I'm too lazy to do)

    I don't believe Coleman were much of a manufacturer - more an assembler when they first sold these lamps circa 1905/06. Sure they manufactured a few bits and pieces but mostly assembled lamps.

    I'm sure I have seen the "1A" in another catalogue too but I can't remember where.
    AGM just may be :-k

    Any way, they are a great using lamp.

    @Doug L how are you off for tanks and hollow wire and fittings ??

    Incandescent Light & Supply has this lamp as their nr. 21 hw lamp. If they were the original manufacturer of this lamp,
    I don´t know for sure.
