    Hello all,
    Been hanging around here for a while now after somebody pointed me in this direction, I'm pretty much sure I haven't said hello before so thought I would introduce myself :)

    I've only recently got into the 'pressure' thing recently, last summer to be precise, although I've got a collection of camping stoves including a Coleman peak 1.

    Well what sparked my interest was a Number 2 burner, then along came a Number 3 burner which couldn't be missed. The pressure lamp 'thing' started with a Bialladin 310, then a Tilley Guardsman, now I must have half dozen pressure stoves, about 2 dozen lamps and other odds and sods including irons and blow torches - somebody told me I needed to be careful as they were addictive and I scoffed at them, now I'm eating my words :oops:

    One of my latest acquisitions / fettle is this Coleman 201:

    Next on the cards for a fettle is Feurhand lantern (cant remember the model number!) although not a pressure lamp, in my opinion is probably one of the most characteristic of 'huuricane' style lamps.

    I just like tools, it's another thing of mine since I started owning and driving Series Land Rovers!

    Hello Stuey and welcome aboard! :thumbup:

    The Coleman 201 is a fine lantern, in which year was your example produced?

    The date stamp will be on the base plate of the tank, Jeff.
