I think I found what I needed to know. In an old post by SuzieQ in 2016 she shows a nose for a veritas lamp. Apparently they have changed their name to Falks. She shows a picture of a nose piece with internal threads that looks like what I need. I will try to source the parts I need because I just love the look of the old technology. I may never use it but I would like it to be functional in case I need to. Thanks again to everyone and especially SuzieQ

Yes, it's a Falks. The burner nose is still available. In small campers, these double as a heater. Crack a window or roof vent if you decide to use it.

Sorry I took so long to get back to you Chriss. Thanks for the info about the lamp, Good to know about the window I hadn't even thought about that. I have found some suppliers for the parts but they are fairly expensive for right now. Do you happen to know if this takes the solid or the flexible mantels?

Chriss brings up a good point, gas lights use a lot of gas which makes them (as said above) a heater in winter... but not really efficient. In summer they are just unbearably hot. So I consider them neither a good light source or a good heat source...but a back up for both. |

I agree Falks/Veritas. The globe is wrong. Be SURE it is for high heat before lighting the lamp. They usually had the more rounded Humphrey style globe. Avail. today for around $15.

Great advice guy's Thankx. Thanks vikx you may have saved me a face full of hot glass. Do you know of anyway to find out if this globe is rated for the heat? It sure seems to fit well as if it was made for the lamp. But I have looked at a lot of pics online and I have never seen another one like it.

The globe should be "marked" as high heat or a brand. All of my gas lamp globes have been marked in some way. You can always use the globe without lighting the lamp. A good glass or lighting shop may have more info.

Hi Frank,
In addition to the marking, high heat propane globes are made of thin pyrex type glass like you would find on a coffee pot. The bottom opening will be relatively small but big enough to reach in with a match. They are typically only frosted on the top half which I assume is so the gas feed piping is hidden but you can still see the condition of the mantle.
