This is the first version of the large fill ACME made in 1912. It used the slotted cone burner from its predecessor as well as the reflector release wire that was on the last version of the small fill ACME. This lantern has no bail, which it gets in 1913 along with the winglock cone burner. It stands a full inch taller than the versions that followed. It is quite rare and worthy of restoration. Thanks for showing it.
