@MYN Yes it’s an SMP. I found that a new unfired 300/400 cp mantle reaches the base. I started by burning it from the center to shrink it off the...
There is something mesmerizing about seeing bare metals. Love it
Nice looking lantern
i needed some educating into these odd lanterns. This site provided the info I needed to get this roarer functioning. I’m using a 300/400 cp...
That’s original. I like it a lot
A bail would still work without the clips but it would probably damage the vent. I can make them if needed. I was curious whether they were sold...
What I did with my 201 generator is wrap stranded copper wire from an electrical cord around the spring. Just enough to where it still fits in the...
My mistake. I thought yours was a 200A. Have you checked the elbow to make sure it’s sealing as @phaedrus42 mentioned? Nice looking lantern.
I have this black band 200 A 6/1952 that is either missing or never ha[ATTACH] [ATTACH] d bail clips. I’ve seen pics of other black band lanterns...
[ATTACH] @ColinG You can see the vent cover is bent down on the left (kero). The one on the right is still covering the vent. Hope this helps as...

@george thanks for that info. I almost bid on the incorrect globe. Mine was from Witchita
So I finally got around to cleaning the generator on the 200. It lights up the mantle very well. There is not much difference between the 500 cp...
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] So I think I’ve found my new favorite lantern. Finished fettling this Coleman 242B 12/1940. Love how bright it is....
Could it be this one? Coleman Force 5.[ATTACH]
The Tilley uses a mantle with a through hole. It looks like it’s from a Coleman propane heater maybe.
[ATTACH] So my mantle blew out on my Petromax 829. What better time to test these mantles than now. They are bright. They’re not pure white but...
@Tony Press Thanks for that. Interesting read. I have noticed that there is an air leak somewhere that led to a lower operating pressure....
@X246A The 200 is using Coleman fuel at the moment. @Mackburner I used the larger mantle for a few reasons. I was curious about the Chinese...
