Yes, you need a ceramic nozzle, the top heat shield and a high BTU mantle (VTS)   |

You need a globe gallery, a globe, a gasket, a burner nose, and a piece that holds the burner nose in place. If you really want to restore this lamp, get a new Falks light and use the parts from it.

I've seen aluminum burner noses but not brass. The best source for another is a vintage trailer rally swap meet. You can search online but the threads are different, sizes and length as well. Best to buy in person.
There are Humphrey and Veritas lights in most of our trailers. Newer lights I believe are Sun Lites, but not sure. Verritas lights have some very weird British threads and screws (mainly on the top shield) so be sure things fit before buying.

The lamp pictured is a Veritas- I have one as well. Veritas was a brand name of Falks, which is still around. Search for Falks burner noses and you'll find them.

Do you actually trust your life to an antique light with not safety of any kind? I live in a 95 year old house, drive a 53 year old car to work every day, have a kitchen full of 60-70 year old appliances, and cool my house with 80-90 year old fans in the summer. I have no problem at all with a dead-simple propane lamp that happens to be 60 years old, especially since the exact same lamp is still sold new today.

www.warehouseappliance.com/?t=Falks-Single-Wall-Mount-Gas-Lamp&listing=157019060555383141abd02. gARY you don’t know me. If a gas light kills me so be it. Should not have survived a long week In April 1970 in a hostile place . Any breath after that is free. I’m cursed to survive my wife and my son. I outlived my usefulness at work. I ask some pretty humble questions here. Answer very few as my fields of expertise Don’t apply here a lot. My PhD was thermodynamics and practical Physics related with a little mechanical engineering Thrown in. Don’t worry about my gas light I’ll be fine If anyone needs rocket engine repaired Well |
