Rayo was the house brand of the Standard Oil Company Of New York (SOCONY) who made and sold the kerosene along with everything that could burn it. Your lantern dates in the 1912-1916 range. It is a PRISCO 180 made for Rayo by Pritchard Stamping Co. of Rochester N.Y., and should have a brass burner and cone.
The original globe was a Rayo No. 0 Hot Blast with Bullseye magnifier. This globe is commonly found on ebay.
