Hi Dan, Mix up a small batch of 75/25 and 65/35 Kero/Coleman and see if the mantle brightens. I have gone to 65/35 for cleaner burn. It will...
This lamp is an oldie. "The Coleman Lamp Co Wichita Kans USA" imprinted on the handle cap. No markings on the handle tube. No patent date stamps...
Hi Neil, LOL! I used your AGM spreadsheet as the basis for the "1940ish" date description. Karli, This has no stress cracks. Clean as can be...
This is the two mantle variant of the "Art Deco" lanterns. It has a preheater cup to enable it to burn gasoline or kerosene. The fount is crack...
Notice gents that Dan had to shoot the image of his 237 burning from the TOP. If you put an older 1111 HiPower or a Peerless 111 mantle on a 237,...
That "welding rod" premise could be valid. Not in the aspect of electric arc welding rod but perhaps GAS welding rod. That could have been in...
The thumb screw clamped shade holder in the catalog images is something I haven't seen before either. Bob
Now that the auction is over, if you can get a good deal on one of these like this buyer did, you'll be in "tall cotton". These kits if complete...
I think that you would be much better off with a 237. Coleman is still making generators for it. It's a big honkin' 500CP machine. They burn the...
Hi David, Buy the whiskey, drink it, then burn kerosene! :D/ Bob
Hi Neil, Their "fully rust proof" fails to mention the steel fount bottom. We all know about that one don't we! :doh: Bob
Hi Jeff, And we "Yanks" cry and moan over $9/gallon Coleman fuel. At that price for a quart you should be getting a kiss, 'cause you're surely...
GOOD POINT on the "Global" aspect of this forum. IMO, it's just what we collectors of this stuff needed. A global brain trust with information by...
There were three styles of this shade produced that I'm aware of. Yours is one. The two in the image below were called the "Empress" and the...
Hi Neil, The "B" lamp in the first image I think has a misprint when it says "instant lighting". The "C" lamp in this latest image calls it a...
Hi Neil, Was the 07739 made by Akron? If so it must have a long fuel pickup and uses an "Instant Glo" generator. I wonder if its valve system...
Hi Karli, The shade is a Coleman model 334. It was offered in green porcelain enamel coating as seen here as well as white. The all white ones are...
Hi Neil, The ad for the "B" lamp states that it is an "instant lighting" model. Is the Nulite built Sears 520.07737 shown here instant lighting?...
AH YES! Another puzzle piece revealed! Nice work Neil! Both of my Lind-O-Lite lamps have that number ink stamped on the bottom. Bob
Hi Neil, If Turner made the Brooklure lantern for Spiegel perhaps there may be images of this lamp in one of their old catalogs. Bob
