Coleman ball nut for the very top of the Lantern

Nope. They are Mantle Nozzles or sometimes called Burner Caps. I just don't know who made them.

Top = Cap 

My guess is still Coleman - most folks had those camping but then again I haven't been scouting in a long while

That would be a vent nut.

Here's a shot of a Burner Cap 220 Brass Hex for a mid 50's Coleman:

Yeah I think so. It's pretty frustrating looking at the myriad # of parts diagrams and trying to find a match when some of those diagrams are so old. I am not going to give up though. If I can find the date of mfg. I will be happy. That way I can ID the site more closely and search the area with a little more care. I remembered the spot I found the other one in and am going to go back to both areas first thing in the Spring. I've been pretty surprised by some of the campsites I've found.

I understand and good luck. Maybe you will dig up something that will give you a better idea of the time period for that area's usage. You never know

Im thinking petromax early 1930s

Well that's certainly a new aspect. Got anything to give me a clue. And what are they doing in the woods 1/4 mile from a road? But ya never can tell!
