I can't help, but I tried.  I've got a couple books that show pictures and
give names for commonplace items.  No kerosene lantern in either.  

Here's an idea thought:  Are old-fashioned kerosene lanterns still
manufactured?  (Check the Cumberland General store for the answer on that
one.)  If so, contact a manufacturer for a parts list.  Ain't nothin'
manufactured that don't have a parts list.

Good luck.
