Coleman 247, USA

It looks good . Is there a year stamping on the fount . I see it's stamped Made in the United States of America .
The one I have is stamped MADE IN USA and was made in February 1936.

 

Fine looking example !

 

It's working well.

 

A good clean old lantern, very much like the 249 Scout.

 

Thanks. Guess it needs a new jet. Burns outside the mantle (turning black). Fitted with a 350 mantle now (which I believe is to big for this lantern). Ok for a while, but not all good. I can't find the production number on this one. Any ideas? I figure there is a 10 underneath...

 

Nice lantern

 

@Toby Garner These we’re made in USA? I have never seen a 247 made in USA.


Clean lantern by the way and nice double slotted collar

 

@Pancholoco1911
I know of three of these lanterns of which there are two different versions .
One of the others is also here in the reference gallery.
Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about the USA lanterns can help with the date.
I'm sure it's made somewhere in the 1930's .

 

@Pancholoco1911 I was not aware of them. Must have been a 242K replacement? Appears to be the same vintage as the US nickel 242B's.

Beautiful example @esphojo thanks for sharing

 

@Toby Garner i was in shock when seen it so one more to the bucket list. All my 247 are canadians but coming from Coleman you never know as my 244

 

Nice, First USA 247 I have ever seen!
