Here's my '64 228F with an amber globe.

It's my favorite out of them all.

What was the purpose of the large tops on them like that?

Here's my 228E 9/60 on the left, original, untouched.
On the right is my Voyager matching 228F 10/69.
Trying to find a pic on my 1940 228...it's off to a new owner.

As for the purpose...I'd imagine to throw more light out rather than letting any go up and probably to help keep nasty weather off a globe. Just speculation though.

I'm surprised you folks don't have a special logo for the collectors here, like Coleman spoken here! :lol:

Good looking lanterns!

I wish I knew, exactly... but they sure are magnificent, aren't they?

I LOVE the bighats!
228C B-46, 228D B-56, 228F 8-62, and proud to say they all work great.
