 The Dana Manufacturing Corp., Port Ewen, New York,

made this Model 14 Vestergaard brand stove.

Note the burner panels in the slide out position of this compact stove

for cooking with larger pots or pans.

This stove is in Brien Page's collection.


Goss Gas, Inc., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania made Models 102 (left) and 100 (right).

Both feature cooking surfaces above the lantern.

These are in Brien Page's collection.

Model 102 includes a sliding base plate

that allows for storage of extra mantles and the cooking grid.


Goss Gas, Inc. also sold appliances under the Adams brand.

The Adams Sports Heater (left) provides hot air from the rectangular duct near the top front of the unit.

The Sports Heater can be converted to a stove by sliding it out of the case; note the grate above the burner (right).

Brien Page also has an optional Adams Sports Lite (right)

that fits on the burner of the Sports Heater to convert the stove into a lantern.

Goss also sold the Model 152 stove and lantern combination appliance separately;

it was as the above (right) without the heater shell.

Goss Gas as Adams also made a 3-In-1 Sports Heater -

seen here in front view (left) and back view (right).

This heater, in Brien Page's collection, includes storage for two propane cylinders

and a hookup to one of them, plus a lower storage compartment

that included an orifice for cold weather.

The bolt on the mounting bracket controls the angle of the reflector.


This propane lantern is labeled Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co.,

Buckner, Kentucky.

It may have been made by Goss Gas Inc.

based on similarities of the valve to those on Goss models.

  There are relatively few models where the propane cylinder is behind the light.

This lantern is in Brien Page's collection.


H.C. Lanterns, another company whose primary market is the Amish,

makes this Model 360-1 propane lantern.

This large single mantle lantern comes with a 500 cp mantle

and large Peerless globe.

Note the unique gray porcelain ventilator.

The base is a Coleman propane lantern part that they supply with the lantern.


Humphrey Products, Kalamazoo, Michigan,

made this CooKit two burner stove.

The stove appears to date to the 50's and uses a 20 lb propane cylinder.

Brien Page, whose collection this is in,

reports that the burners are large and produce a lot of heat.


Humphrey also made this Model CL1 Camplite

during this same time period.

It is made to be connected by a hose to a larger propane tank.

The cast burner can be compared to the later Paulin version here.

This light is in Glenn Knapke's collection.


Lancaster Lanterns makes this 500 cp propane lantern, Model 902s.

The base is aluminum while the ventilator is stainless steel.

The primary market for this company is the Amish.

Since it consumes a 16.2 oz container of propane in 2 hours,

they also sell an adapter to refill the 1 lb container from a 20 lb cylinder!

E-mail me if you're interested in buying this lantern from the manufacturer.


The Lenk Manufacturing Co., Boston, Massachusetts,

made this LP Picnic Cook Stove in the 1950's.

The stove takes two large fuel canisters

in the otherwise empty space below the burners.

This stove is in Brien Page's collection.


.This lantern was manufactured by the Lenk Mfg. Co.

as a companion piece to the LP Picnic Cook Stove.

The fuel canister is labeled Franklin, Kentucky.

This lantern, in Glenn Knapke's collection,

 has a steel ventilator.

These threaded fuel canisters are still manufactured by Lenk.


This stove is Model LPA-8 Insta-Lite,

made by the Metalcraft Mfg. Corp., St. Louis, Missouri.

It takes the smaller propane canisters

as seen on the lanterns below.

This stove is in Brien Page's collection.

We do not know what relationship there is, if any, between

the Metalcraft Mfg. Corp. and the Insta Lite Co. of Edgerton, Wisconsin below.


A two burner version of the above stove, Model LPA-10,

also made by the Metalcraft Mfg. Corp.,

and in Brien Page's collection.

This stove has two canisters/burner

and is hinged in the middle to fold up for carrying.

The metal flaps fold down when he stove is operating.


Two of these 3 Insta-lite lanterns were made by

the Insta Lite Co., Edgerton, Wisconsin.

They are Model LPA-15 (left), and LPA-6 (right).

LPA-16 (center) was manufactured by the Metalcraft Mfg. Corp.,

a Division of Knapp-Monarch Co., St. Louis, Missouri,

from a box and lantern in Jim Flynn's collection.

These lanterns are in Brien Page's collection.


Insta-Products Co., a Division of Knapp-Monarch Co, St. Louis, Missouri,

also sold lantern Model LPA-6 (above) with a pole, canister holder,

and protective dome as a "Patio Light" (left).

This lantern is in Glenn Knapke's collection.


This Insta-Lite stove was made by Pressure Can Corp.

in Edgerton, Wisconsin.

This model used a single fuel can that fit under the

metal lid on the left side of the cooking surface.

Note the control knob for the case in the front left corner.

This stove is in Brien Page's collection.


This two-burner stove is very similar to the one above

but the labels identify it as The "Sportsman" by Insta Products Co.,

a division of Knapp-Monarch Co., St. Louis, Missouri.

The door to the fuel canister on the left side is raised for the image.

This stove is in Brien Page's collection.
