I bought this one from an old high school friend a couple of years ago. He's into collecting and restoring them.
'72 model 220E (if I remember correctly)

My grandpa had some old ones that ended up who knows where after he passed.
By chance I came across my first lantern in a pawn shop, and bought it because I remembered my grandpa's old ones.
Well, the first one was a doozy, but after changing out the generator, pump, mantles, etc. I learned a lot about them both by trial and error and watching youtube videos about restoration.
Before I knew it, I was all caught up in a new hobby. I found the second one that was the same model on ebay listed as "not operational" for $10. After changing out it's $9 dollar generator and getting some new mantles it was running like a champ.
Like I said, I got the same models so I can have extra parts that work for both, and have a complete one if parts ever became unavailable after something quit working.

The wide brim marks it as a 228, aka "Big Hat". Which model I'm not sure, the chimney changed from the E model to the F. After that, it's hard to tell them apart.
