I did some more research. Apparently the Falks (possibly Verita) are used for high altitude because they can be adjusted more easily.
All the parts for Humphrey are interchangeable EXCEPT the burner and nose.
Man, that eBay light is a new model and it retails for $80.
And the globe should look just like the Humphrey with the opening in the bottom.

I'm thinking the hole in the globe is an optical illusion due to the angle of the photo. I'm thinking I may be able to use the globe and globe frame on my old unit. Wondering if the nose and mantel are included in the Orange box. If those fit my old lamp, I may have succeeded. It it doesn't, I'll still have globe and frame. Would need to buy a nose and mantel. Good thing this doesn't go in for awhile. May take some digging. Thx for the help everyone. I'll let you know what I find

I don't think that's an optical illusion because the globe is upside down on a towel and the bottom of the globe (the part you see on top) is solid. Normally the globes are open on the bottom. I think if that top part that screws on and holds the globe fits, you're good.

The globe looks wrong to me... there should be TWO holes, one at the top, another at the bottom. Also, this light doesn't have the burner nose. If it's new, what's up with that??
NOTE: Burner noses are not universal. This particular nose can be difficult to come by.

Got the new Faulks lamp based on SusieQs tip. Found on eBay for $45. Globe and globe holder work perfect with old lamp. Parts are interchangeable. New kit just came with inverted mantel. Think I'm still short burner nose. Closer to having a complete lamp.

That's GREAT! Hopefully, the Faulks burner nose will fit, too. I think it should.

Update . . . Just got the Fauks burner nose and mantels in. Guess what? They are interchangeable with old Veritas. I now have a complete lamp with old and new parts!

Really glad I didn't steer you wrong. Whew! I'm relieved to know it fits. No where on the internet does it say they are the same. I just happened to find the info on the company name and it made sense to me!

That's what I love about this board . . . People willing to spend some time helping other people. For no more than the cost of the part I was willing to take a chance with the info you provided me. Now, anyone else who has a partial Veritas, will know these parts are interchangeable.
Thanks!!
