    I was on my way home from fishing when I decided to stop by an antique store close to the lake. Browsing through the myriad of what nots, I find this standing in the corner and decided to take a picture. The fount is badly pitted to see any markings although the fount is still solid. Just curious as it does look like a coleman but with no markings anywhere and that the burner had two pipes in the opposite direction and uses an external pump. Sorry for the picture as I took it with my camera phone. I left it where I found it.

    One of the later ones. I think they introdced the pricker around 1922. Wants a mica globe but Fred makes them for these. Tricky because the gobe has to have two holes for the air tubes. Nice lantern well worth capturing. ::Neil::

    Yes, this one had a small L shaped knob I would assume for the pricker. Not really interested. For those who may have interest PM me and I will try to nab it for whoever. Just let me know how much you are willing to pay as I did not check the asking from the seller and ship it wherever at cost. Please note that the spindle is stuck fast so serious fettling is required.

    Thank you for the information.

    Ron
