recent find

just found this 1926 Coleman CQ 329 just like the one i posted the other day that was my Great Grandmothers'
i got it for $14

now i gotta work on it and see if i can get it to run. then ill need a shade


it had pressure in it when i cracked open the cap!

 

14 dollars - im sure it was a "genie" you let out of that tank

 

Hey you never know
the cap is plugged to the point that you cant pump it up. got the CV soaking in carb cleaner as we speak. should clear it up

 

You will soon have it running.
There's almost no other lamp that's so trouble free and easy to get in a working state as these.

Since it's without a shade, I don't think you can call it a CQ329. It's just simply a CQ.

 

thats true. i was just calling it that because thats the shade ill be using on it. like my other one. ill eventually have to find another one so i can run both of em at the same time in the proper way

 

oldlanternman, I don't know about here, but another place I've seen that user name it would be appropriate for me to tell you "you suck" as a way of showing how jealous I am. LOL

 

Haha yup the CCF. Im a member there under the same username.

 

Then show it off there, and you can really "double suck"!

 

I did last week. The thread is passed on to the next page now though.

 

Would that be "double suck" or "suck both places"?

 

Probably double suck. The other sounds kinda 'wrong'
