This looks like a Morco Gas Light. They are no longer made but the parts are still easy to get from caravan breakers. The Mantles are a different story. Veritas closed down and now there are only old stock available or new stock from Auerlicht. They can be expensive but there is a possibility of getting (initially) No' 2 hard mantles from a different supplier. The mantles are out of stock at the moment but will hopefully be back instock in a month or two. The webaddress is:

This guy has a motorhome with a gas light fitted and owns a rural farm lit by old caravan gas lights and relys on them since he has no electric supply. He has sourced a manufacturer who supply them cheaper than the Auerlicht version rather than pay through the nose. He will be selling them in the near future.
Hope this is helpful.
John. |

If you ordered the G 3769 as shown here... http://www.parafinalia.biz/veritas-universal-fitting-p-275.html then you've ordered the wrong ones. These are Number 3 mantles. See the link referred to in another post for the guy thats going to be supplying them later this year.
Most morco lights use number 2 mantles. The number one mantles were for the smaller verion of the morco lights which were not fitted to many vans. They had much smaller glass shades too so this should make it easyier to tell them apart.
It will also help if you measure the internal diameter of the ceramic ring shown in the clay burner with the lugs in your photo. That will allow you to tell which size you need once some of us can take the measurements of the various ring sizes. |
