What Coleman is this?

Made in Canada “9 35”. There is no stamping on collar; the vent looks 249; I’m not sure the pump is Coleman; the control knob looks like it’s from a radio.



“9 35”
























Thanks in advance.

Apart from the control knob and pump it looks very much like a 242.

 

Thank you @TommiL.

With that information, I now see that the pump is similar to the @Jean J Coleman 2242 lantern here:

Coleman 2242 (Made in England)

I’ll keep investigating.

Cheers

Another interesting one. Perhaps early 247 or 242K transition? The fuel knob does not look like Coleman to me - but when it comes to Coleman nothing surprises me now!

 

Just noticed that the frame is stamped 3000 - just like the 2242 in the library. Very interesting considering the pump is the same.

 

Also has the right collar for that year slotted both sides

 

@peterthevet

Thanks. I forgot to mention that the burner looked the same as Jean’s 2242.

@Lamp_Doctor

Thanks, Bob.

A very lucky find!

 

@JEFF JOHNSON

It’s not mine. It belongs to another Tasmanian.

Model 242A and a pretty rare beast from 1934 to about 1936. ::Neil::

 

Thank you, Neil.

242A I’d say It has a split collar on both valve and pricker sides which was found on 242Ks
Check the pickup to see if it has an A/F tube If it does then it’s an A with a K collar ( I’ve seen these on As before)
If it has a straight pickup then it’s a different story
Definitely valve wheel has been replaced
Early pump not swapped out which is a good thing
