    Got this one along with the Coleman 242 B.
    It looks like it was in a fire resulting in the re soldering of the base and replacing the melted lead seals. 20230407_145011.jpg Screenshot_20230407-145354_Samsung Internet.jpg 20230407_143351.jpg

    Decided to light all three, the other two have red enamel tops.
    They will go with on the next camping trip. 20230407_184851.jpg

    20221227_202910.jpg Thank you. I was looking for a set of four 250cp lanterns for camping as they are more compact , give good light and I can make an affordable plan for user globes. Unfortunately Coleman globes are not available locally anymore so importing them is costly.
    I did take two Tilley lanterns, a sunflame and an Everbright Petromax clone with me in December . 20221227_202929.jpg
