OK, I'll play. I don't have any neat, old Bernz-Os like the others do, but I do have this guy:
DougA ... fettler and keeper of a family collection of nickel: a 249, a pair of 237s, and a 1938 228B, along with a late 1979 red 200a. Then two more turned up, a 1941 243A and a 1944 242C, and now there's a b-day 200A lantern, too!. Coleman Blues Member #92. BernzOmatic Appreciation Club #009. Perfection Heater Collectors #5

I forgot to ask, do you have other photos of the one on the left? i can see something marked on the globe but hard to read it. Looks like a rare gem of a lantern, there are definite differences in that one, including the side vents are different. even a google search could not find any. it was probably a rare model offered only for a short time from Bernz.

Ron Well, ain't this place a geographical oddity-two weeks from everywhere! Coleman 275 Appreciation Syndicate Member #0085 If it makes fire, and light, and heat.... ICCC # 1336 BernzOmatic Appreciation Club #067
I found mine on Craigslist. I went for a Coleman lantern,
but was sure glad to find a dual beam there, too.
My bottom screen was very rusty, but it cleaned
up beautifully in a citric acid bath.
Gary Coleman, I am. I.C.C.C. #1035 "What good shall I do this day?' Proudly coined the phrase, "I am not a stovie". Created the first "G-mod" lantern. Bunch of other stuff I can't remember right now.

Yes. Here are a couple more images , though a little blurry. Schott Supra Glas, from Germany. I acquired the lantern on E-bay from Israel, only bidder. It was in the power plant of a kibbutz for some 45 years. Came with an extra globe and took weeks to get here. I used lacquer thinner to remove the golden overspray. The guard was wrapped with white teflon tape. It is not marked Bernz anywhere, but the plate holding the globe is the exact same plate used in the Bernz TX700 lantern.

interesting, it looks like it has some history. Its likely built by Bernz for a export company to Germany or Israel. Bernzomatic built their Gas appliances somewhat unique, (without copying or using design parts or ques from other manufacturers, meaning its likely built by Bernz, ( as nobody else that i ever seen built the DualBeam lantern of that case style & pain color.) Very cool lantern! thanks for sharing the pics.
