Coleman CQ table lamp

I've had this a while now but couldn't light it up until I got a replacement generator, thanks to Mike at old Coleman partsfor a reproduction Q99 generator. I've cleaned it up as well as can without taking the nickle plating off so it does show a certain amount of patina. The shade i borrowed from one of my aladdins. The only writing on it is on the black handle,nothing on the tank and the burner has the patent date of 1919 so I'm not sure of the date of production
It's running on holts brake cleaner and using Coleman no 21 string tie mantles.

 

That's going well !

I think that looks nice with that shade Lovely!

 

That’s a good looking lamp!

 

It's working well!

 

Great lamp and even better workshop. Look at all those lanterns!

 

It looks simple, elegant and obviously from the pictures very functional. You must be pleased.

 

Fine job !!
I've two CQ, the first one Canadian and the other from the USA.
Great lamps.

 

Going well and a good looker as well.

 

@Mr cod
Nice looking lamp and well fettled. These are well built, solid and when fettled are very reliable lamps.
Your workshop looks good too.
Cheers

It's got the Patent date 1919 so it's post May 13th 1919

Assuming the control wheel is original to the lamp
It doesn't have a Bakelite control wheel which was introduced in 1928
Is there a letter stamped on the face of the control wheel ?
Pre 1922 no letter
A: 1922
B : 1923
C : 1924
D : 1925
E : 1926
F : 1927
G : 1928 was a transitional year for the Bakelite knob with 7/16 inch glandnut.

It's a nice looking lamp Mr Cod.

 

Thanks for the info robbo, I'll have look at the wheel tomorrow.
