WWII 1945 American Gas Machine AGM Milspec US Military Liquid Fuel Lantern
Item History & Price
You are bidding on a vintage and all original American Gas Machine AGM US military single mantle liquid fuel lantern. Marked "US" on the bottom and dated 1945. This lantern is in very good condition considering it's age. Burns white gas or gasoline, and works very well. Great for display, general use, camping, fishing, or reenactments.
Fuel tank font is made of brass and has no dents or stress cracks. Minor scratches and minor wear in the original paint. Decals are also original, no...t new vinyl stickers, and have some minor scratches. Neck ring has original green paint. Frame has no major rust, just a couple tiny spots. Burner frame is marked "Aladdin Conversion 1944, Servel.Inc" stamped on it.
New cap gasket installed. Leather pump cup has been soaked in neatsfoot oil. Unmarked clear globe has no cracks or chips. Ventilator in very good condition, no chips or cracks.
Spare parts compartment looks like it has all spare mantles and tools in it. I haven't pulled out all the items as they look like they have never been taken out since they were packed!
All that's missing is the original funnel that would be attached to the other chain.
Coleman also made a milspec lantern, their model was the 252. Other manufacturers made these as well, and were still made up into the 1980s.
Finding a military AGM from 1945 in this condition is extremely rare.
Fuel tank will be drained and dried prior to shipping.
Payment must be received 7 days from auction end or item will be relisted.
Local pickup OK
International shipping will be handled by USPS international shipping. Some countries excluded due to scammers.
