1960's J.C. Higgins Single Mantle Lantern.

This lantern was made by American Machine & Gas Co. which is now gone.. Well made lantern much like Coleman's model 200A. ( Note extra big generator which allows it to burn even leaded gas in it's day. ( though I only use Coleman fuel to make it have longer life) This lantern is " Loud" compared to a coleman and very bright!!

i just bought 1 @ a Antique shop today, the pump appears to be original. meaning there is no hole in the pump handle and it`s steel, no plastic..I was wondering that it looks like a colemam 201, Will the replace parts like the generator,and pump work??
