dep5 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Seen in an old garage, completely unknown to me. If it helps, I think the former owner worked for a natural gas company Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) Looks like an old gas lamp to me. It would hang from the ceiling, I believe. In the photos it may be upside-down. I think it may have had a glass chimney. Edited April 19, 2020 by keiser31 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I think the "L" shaped lever on yours is the gas on/off valve. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Schramm Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) The two tubes with the holes should be pointed down. There are silk mantles that are attached in the recessed area. Just like any Coleman white gas lantern. Edited April 19, 2020 by Larry Schramm (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
