I just added this American Gas Machines, Kamplite to my collection. I have not fired it up yet but thought I would put up a couple photos. It was manufactured in 1954. It runs on Coleman fuel or gasoline. Have a look.

Hi Sean,
congratulation to your new Donut.
These kind of lanterns were produced in the 80s.
Dont worry

Hi Karli,
The kamplite seems to be the most plentiful of this type still available here in the us. Followed by the JC Higgins model then the Thermos. The original few military lamps seem almost non existent. It would be nice to come across one of those at a yard sale! It is an interesting variation on the older donut style lamps from Europe. I have not come across replacement globes for this lamp though and would like to find a spare to keep around. If anyone has any info on this please contact me.
Thanks,
Sean

As a spare u can use the globe from an HASAG Donut.
Reproduction globes u can get sometimes in Germany

A HASAG globe would work for a static display but I would need the original style globe to light the lamp through the opening in the bottom. The globe is fixed with screws and does not swing down to light. Hope I don't go through toomany mantles!!!:D
