I found this in my granddad's Texaco, but cannot identify it. Please help with make and model. The glass says Pyrex, and the gas tank is missing.

A value would be nice, too!
Thanks in advance!

If I'm not mistaken, thats just your basic propane camping light. Maybe Coleman?

It was OK to use a gas lantern at station, but all cigs /cigars had to be snuffed out? LOL
