  • I found this 242c at an antiques show, and got it for $5. Problem is it was missing a whole lotta stuff. However, it was in very good shape, so worth a gamble. I've got the parts, let's get it to making light again!

    I believe if its 242c then the would make the date March of 1948.

      So you bring up a really interesting point. For most appliances built in the 1920s and 30s, the year is shown as a single digit, which is what I'm seeing. Around 1941 they went to double digit numbers for the year. C's were made '41-'50. So maybe it's 1938 instead of 1928? That puts it in the 242b years of manufacture; maybe the collar was swapped at one point? I need to look at a reference of valves/burners to see if it's a B or a C.
