Propane lantern & stove manufacturers D - M
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 collecton.

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
baseplate
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.
This propane lantern is
labeled Clayton & Lambert Mfg. Co.,
Buckner, Kentucky.
It may have been made by
Goss Gas Inc.
based on similarites 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!
