Some good finds today!

Nice Colemans!

Tony

 

All 3 Coleman items found somewhere different!

I have a 250 hipolito already but this one looks to have only been fired once.

 

An excellent days picking for Australia!!

 

The shade would look a treat on the Coleman 118? it is harder to find good lamps these days, great finds

 

Nice finds, I like that shade.
Enjoy
Pete

 

A good haul!

 

Is that an Eye Brand lantern or just as recycled globe? Eye brand are better than most clones and are made of brass... at least mine is.

 

You did well!

 

I bought the shade to go on a CQ I’m waiting for. Now I’ve found the 118 I need another! The search continues…

 

It is an Eye Brand lantern. I offered $10 for it because I wanted the parts, but when I got it home I realised it was quite well made. So I agree - one of the better clones!

Will likely get it running and see how it performs

 

I agree a very nice shade well done.

 

$10 is a steal! Nice one.

I'm guessing Eye Brand lanterns were made in Hong Kong as the better clones often were. Eye Brand, Solar and anything that came out of the Union Metal Works factory seem to be good quality.

 

@Buckaroo , is that a Coleman 228 "big hat"?

 

It is @JohnL , 228 F.

Was pleased to find that one in Australia

 

Do you know if they were ever sold here or was it most likely an import?
Never seen one in WA.

 

Unsure, but it’s the first one I’ve found in the wild in the past 6 years

 

@JohnL & @Buckaroo

They are not that common in Australia, but they were sold here.

Thanks @Tony Press

 

Only took me 2 years to get the 228F running! Needed some work, and some patience…

Cheers

Congratulations

 

Good thing come with time, looks fantastic mate.

 

Hello @Buckaroo
Be careful what you use the white shade on, if it's glazed clear glass over white it will be off an electric
pendant light and it may not handle the heat.
I have seen many in my days.
Cheers Marko.

 

Nice haul.
Every piece of it
