I found this one last year but only bought it this year. It is the third of the same date 237 and thankfully this one doesn't have a pinholed fount. All three are identical with the dark green vent. My January 1948 Empire and 236 Major have the seafoam colour vent.
Nice lantern. I think the 236 and 237 lanterns are excellent Coleman products. The Canadian editions turn up reasonably often in Australia. Cheers Tony
Thank you. I have only found one 236 here which had a 237 conversion done to it ( or it was a 237 with a 236 Major collar) which I changed by fitting a 236 generator and valve assembly. The other 236 I have came from Namibia.
the 236 and 237 are two of the best Coleman made. There are others of course but those two are pretty darn solid. Ulf.
