Shelly: NOT a "lantern", but a table lamp! Edward Miller and Co., Meriden, CT was the manufacturer. Not much in catalogue info on Miller...by the time the 1904 catalogue (may still be found, as it was reprinted in the '70s) was printed, the "New Juno" designation had evidently become just "Juno". A fairly common (it was a popular success) center draft lamp, using a round wick (again wick replacements may be available, depending on the size of the lamp...there were several varieties from "Tiny Juno" to store and factory hanging lamps) and burning kerosene. If you can send a photo, positive identification will be easier, as will suggestions for parts needed for restoration, if that's in your plans. :: Fil Graff ::
