This Sunbeam Trailmaster
lantern was made by Sunbeam's
Neosho Products Company,
Neosho, MO.
This double mantled lantern
is Model 5179C
and came from an antique
mall in south-central PA.

The Paulin company succeeded
Humphrey Products in Kalamazoo, Michigan,
in the later 50's or 1960's.
This Camplight with a simpler
tubular burner
can be compared to the
Humphrey version here.
This light is in Glenn
Knapke's collection.

Three versions of the Prepo
Lite 400 LP lantern
from Brien Page's collection.
The version on the left includes a tip cleaner that rotates and moves vertically.
Note the difference in
height caused by the change in the mounting
of the globe cage to the
canister.
Prepo Corporation was located
in Edgerton, Wisconsin.
The fuel canisters are no longer manufactured.
Prepo made this one burner
stove, Model 105.
The fuel canister assembly
fits in the stove for storage.
An adapter (not shown)
was necessary to take the king size fuel canister.
This stove is in Brien
Page's collection.
Prepo also made this one
burner stove, Model 107.
This stove is also in Brien
Page's collection.
This Prepo Model 208 aluminum
and steel stove
used a separate propane
fuel can,
inserted from the rear
of the stove,
for each burner.
This stove is in Brien
Page's collection.
This Model 2158 lantern
was made by Primus Sievert, Sweden.
George Rocen has this unfired
lantern
with the box and instructions.
Primus made this propane
two burner stove for Sears
which was sold as Model
72476.
The unfired stove, in Brien
Page's collection,
has a parts bag stamped
Primus-Sievert AB,
made in Sweden.


Sievert, a Swedish company,
made this Model 925 propane stove
which is dated Oct. 1059.
Closed (left), ready to
use with the windscreen up (center), and showing the burner (right).
The refillable tank forms
the base for the approximately 33cm tall stove.
This stove is in George
Rocen's collection.
This Model 926 propane,
2-burner stove,
in Frederik Tivemark's
collection, dates to 1963,
a couple of years before
Primus and Max Sievert merged in 1966.
Frederick notes the light
blue color is not typical for these stoves
and reflects the early
1960's.
Model 710-400 is Stansport's
4 mantle Magnum lantern.
It has a piezo electronic
ignition and is rated at 1200cp.
This lantern is in Brien
Page's collection.
The Thermos Division of
the King Seeley Thermos Co.
made this Model 8352 Patio
Light.
A small propane canister, that is no longer manufactured,
was fitted into the base from below.
A similar Model, 8351,
had an open flame with no mantle.
This light is in Brien
Page's collection.


The Tilley Lamp Co., Hendon, UK, made this Model BT25 Floodlight
that appears in a 1967 catalogue.
Paul Gildenhuys found this floodlight on his farm in South Africa and restored it.
The connection to a flexible LP gas line is in the lower-right in the right image.
Accessories included 2-5m tall tripod stands, a frosted lens, and a fog filter.
The lamp reflects 10,000 CP.

These lanterns were made
by the Turner Corp. (Turner Brass Works), Sycamore, IL.
The lantern on the left,
in Brien Page's collection, is Model LP5,
and attaches by a hose
to a 20 lb propane cylinder.
The lantern on the right
is similar to another in Brien's collection;
his is also identified
as Model LP5 although this one has no identifying marks.
The simple designs
are made with aluminum and steel.
This is another earlier
Turner propane lantern model,
the Deluxe Camping Light.
The shape of this first
propane container
presented challenges in
the design of a stable fixture.
This early "slant" solution
was not used very often.
This stove was also sold
by Montgomery Ward and badged Western Field.


The lantern on the left
is marked Turner on the base plate and the valve is embossed LP5
This lantern, in Toby Botkin's
collection, connects by a hose to a propane tank,
or it can be unscrewed
from the base plate and mounted directly on a propane cylinder.
The lantern in the center
was unmarked when Glenn Knapke repainted the base plate;
the original paint was
as on the lantern on the left.
Brien Page's unmarked canister
model (right) is date stamped 5 62.
Both lanterns, center and
right, have a similar air adjustment screw on the stem below the frames.
The upper image is of a
Turner LP-100 Propane stove,
one of three in Brien Page's
collection.
Two of them have an early
3/4" diameter coupling to the propane cylinder
as in the lower image -
inner coupling and cylinder.
Turner Brass thought they
could set the standard for cylinders in the early '50's,
but recalled as many appliances
and cylinders as they could a year later
and replaced them with
the 7/8" diameter that did become the standard.

Turner Brass produced Winchester
brand propane lanterns and stoves
after they had been purchased
by another company.
Brien Page got this unknown
model in the styrofoam box.
It has been little used
if at all.
The built-in igniter (right)
produces a spark
to light the propane gas.
An unknown manufacturer
made this Hot n' Quik propane powered water heater,
which is stamped "Made
in the USA."
The heater will lift water
from a storage tank (not shown)
by using the upper white
plastic pump to prime the heater,
after which it will siphon
water by itself.
Heated water can be drawn
from the heater's tank by lifting the pump handle.
This water heater is in
Bill Elwell's collection.
