New Leather Cup

Hello I am new to the page. I need a new leather Cup OR guidance on how to make one for a Preway, Printess- Wablers L46S lanterine this is also the Sears 742-461. Had this for a few years. and has been to the cabin many times and served us well in power outs. Now hard to pump up and when I check things, out the cup is pretty much gone. Ordered some Coleman cups but they were to big. ANY help is greatly appreciated. Need to keep this 1930s lamp lit.
Thanks

You should contact Old Coleman Parts to see whether they have one or an equivalent. Measure the inside diameter of the pump tube to ensure the correct size.

I will dig out a post on how to make your own if you find the right leather.

There’s a tutorial HERE Bob to get you started.

This is the professional way:

A short cut way, using the existing pump tube is in this thread:

Thanks for the welcome Mr. Johnson. I am sure I will find a lot of information here.

 

When you order the part from Old Coleman Parts email Mike or put in a note with the order which lantern you need a leather for. Mike will make sure you get the right one.

 

Thanks Mr. Williams will do
