Coleman 339 restored.

First light up of my grandads Coleman 339 after I restored it.

 

@Ixom1
Welcome from Queensland Australia.
Your lantern looks good and is running well, well done.
Looking forward to seeing your future posts.
Enjoy
Pete

 

Thanks Aussie Pete. Just enjoying a bit of tinkering. I have a Tilley which I’m going to start on next.

 

Those are good lanterns, but they work better with a bulbous mantle fitted as it forms closer to the vapouriser and keeps it hotter and therefor the fuel vapourises properly.

 

It's cleaned up nicely, congratulations

 

Thanks Jeff for that, I did wonder. What mantle would you recommend? On the lantern it’s says mantle 999 but I haven’t been able to find one. Are there any that are compatible?

 

Thanks I’m happy with it. A few little things here and there but I think that they tell a story.

 

@Ixom1

You’re a Kiwi, so get in touch with “Justmantles.co.nz” and buy some Peerless 111 (thorium) mantles.

Cheers

Tony

 

Thanks Tony will do.

 

That looks great, well done!

 

Thanks very much.
