Hi AB , and welcome to the forum . We have a fair number of Canadians here , but never enough !
Have you tried the forum search tool , as I believe some of these were posted in older threads .
Also photos always help , there is a thread in the "how too" section to help with photo posting .
Hope you enjoy your time here , this is a great forum .

I've had one of those for 40 yrs. They are a neat, but uncommon item.
ojb is the code for Frenzel u. Sachs, Aluminiumwarenfabrik, Schneeberg (Erzgeb.)

Hi
2 or 3 letter codes were introduced in 1940, and ojb is a late war code.... if 37 is the date then the OJB (capitals and with dots if i read correct) is not a maker code, but the initials of a producer (like H.R.E. on canteens or messtins is Heinrich Ritter, Esslingen......

Thanks to you too Tom,
The Writing is O.J.B. like you say with capital letter and dot between the the letter and 37 is the year of production.
So it's intersseting to know from your side.
Is Sarge wright with the maker of this lantern or there is another factory maker.
