Lantern spotted in Lost Horizon 1937

[Darren]

So I'm watching Lost Horizon last night and right at the beginning they lose power, I'm thinking to myself that someone is going to pull out a lantern and they did. I grabbed a couple of screen shots. The actors name is Ronald Colman.





Towards the end of the movie I spotted this lamp. I thought it looked like a pressure lamp but I think there is a cord running to it.



Old movies are great! Any idea what lantern that was? It was sacrificed to start a fire, thrown at barrels of gas.

Beware Darren, you're developing a bad case of Colemanitis

My guess is that it's a Prentiss Wabers (Preway) lantern. Maybe an 742-43 model, it would be correct period wise I think.

I've been to several salvation army type stores looking for them, no luck at all. Now I'm waiting for the garage sales to start up.

Cool. That looks like the same lantern to me or pretty close.

I've not had any luck at the thrift stores either. My best methods seem to be g-sales, Craigslist and trading with friends.
