AGM Models 3608 (left), 3614 (center), and 3618 (right)
are one (left) and two mantle models (center and right).
These are instant lighting models that date to 1936.
The globes on the left and center are labeled "McBeth Thermo Made in USA."
The globe cage on the left has been repainted and the fount on the right was re-plated.
The lantern on the right is in Loren Abernathy's collection.

This is a pair of art deco styled AGM lanterns,
Model 3708 on the left, single mantled, and Model 3718 on the right, double mantled.
These 1937 lanterns burn either gasoline or kerosene.
The Model 3708 is in Craig Seabrook's collection.
The Model 3718 is in Darcy Vantiger's collection; photo by Dwayne Hanson.
Note that there is no top nut.
The top part of the ventilator unscrews to release the rest of the ventilator.

Model 3705 is a steel fount lantern
that burns kerosene or white gas.
The only accomodation for burning kerosene is an alcohol cup.
The valve stem is ~8^o tilted down from horizontal,
a unique feature to this model,
presumably to aid the flow of air into the intake tube.

AGM's Sun Flame Model 2570 is often found with stress cracks in the brass fount.
This one (left) is polished to brass with only a little of the original maroon paint left.
The burner (center) lacks a screen in the 8 mm diameter burner cap
resulting in "backfires" when flames enter the burner chamber
under certain lighting conditions.
The top of the generator screws into the lower air tube, an unusual feature.
Mounted on a comparable fount from a Sears 7426 (= AGM 3006) the lantern still runs (right).

Two versions of AGM's Model 2572.
The Sun Flame version (left) has the familiar maroon ventilator..
This all original lantern is in Fred Kuntz's collection.
The green version (right) is less common.
Although it is green, it is not stamped U.S. on the fount bottom
so it may not have been made for the military.

On the left is AGM's Model 3006 which is very similar to
Coleman's Model 243A on the right.
The 243A was made with a knob that locates the ventilator
while the handle attaches it to the rest of the lantern (seen here)
and with a screw-on ventilator nut.
These two lanterns are in Neil McRae's collection.

Matt Reid restored this Model 3016 lantern,
a relatively common model by this maker.
Matt's restoration includes a correct AGM mantle.

This is AGM's model 3020 lantern
which burns kerosene.
All original, this Sun Flame lantern is in Fred Kuntz's collection.

AGM Model 3025 has a polished ventilator
and several parts in the pump that are aluminum.
It is an instant light model with the cleaner tip built into the fuel valve.
Parts for this model appear in a 1956 catalog.
The lantern on the left is in Craig Seabrook's collection.

Comparable to Coleman's Model 236, these AGM Sun Flame Model 3026 lanterns
have a large globe with a single burner.
The one on the left, in Neil McRae's collection, has a Sun Flame globe,
small filler opening, maroon painted fount, and no stamping on the fount base.
The one on the right has a plain globe,
large filler opening, green painted fount and is stamped
with AGM name and location on the bottom along with U.S.
This latter lantern may have been a military version.

The Model 3470 kerosene lantern was made as a
pre military specification version (left) and civilian version (3470-C, right).
The 3470 is stamped US in the base and has a wrench
held in with the frame nut inside the globe support.
Neil McRae says these lanterns, which are in his collection,
probably produce 500 cp.

Model 3927 is another lantern produced for the military.
This one is unusual in having a Coleman type tip cleaner assembly.
The repainted fount is steel as are many other parts
suggesting that it was made during World War II.
It was found at a boot sale in southern England in the mid 1990's.
This two-burner white gas model is probably rated at 300cp.
