It comes with a correct Handlan fount with original factory wadding and burner which is embossed on the thumb wheel “HANDLAN ST. LOUIS,” (takes a 7/8” flat wick). Fount & burner are fully functional; wick easily adjusts up and down and would hold fuel and burn if desired. There is a last patent date of 7-10-28 embossed on the bottom of the lantern.
