Cool adverts. Definitely looks like the fount from an 81. The burner though appears to be a real departure, unlike the hollow wire in the ad that...
This smaller version is fascinating! I would say unheard of up 'til now, at least in the home of Coleman Canada. Coleman USA expressly gave...
Yes, they do. Here's an excerpt from a 1930 instruction manual. [ATTACH] In the flesh... [ATTACH] Mike.
Nice! He's happy, you're happy, and the lantern gets appreciated. The centrepiece of any collection! Mike.
That cap vice would've been handy on a couple of stubborn ones I've had. Otherwise, I usually use just a bit of heat from a mini butane torch...
It is a beauty! Fascinating the lengths Ditmar went to to keeping it look like a wickie. It would be one of my favourites, too! Definitely! Was...
Lots of interesting stuff on your Hot-Rays. The ceramic element on your USA model is unobtainium! And they are very brittle. I'd be gently...
Here you go, courtesy of Terry Marsh's most excellent site: Coleman Canada lamps [IMG] Mike.
I'm wondering if this is a fount from a 169K lamp that has been used for the fount of the 480 since they used the same fount. Is there an ink...
Beautiful set. I remember using a tap and die set for the first time and how it revolutionized life in the shop. Pivotal moments in my...
Shoot an email to Mike Merz, the owner of OCP, asking for a more exact shipping price. $30USD is the automatic charge, but anything less is...
Is there an ink stamp on the box anywhere that has it being shipped to the "Angus Yards" in Montreal, Quebec? That was a huge repair centre for...
I use a method taught to me by a hooker (a rug hooker, but she loved introducing herself that way), where you do the usual start to the knot like...
Glad to see it's a bright 242C again. Definitely the best method. If it's a stubborn one, I use a rubber strap wrench on the fount's base rim,...
I didn't think they used letters as late as '46, but obviously they did as yours has an "A" instead of the month number. The A is the first...
Hi Wesley and welcome to the forum! It's a 242B as you mentioned, and in your second photo, there's a "46" (45?) stamped on the right side of the...
The fact it runs after you tip it upside down makes me think the F/A tube is clogged as George suggests, and fuel can enter via the hole for air...
You'll need some alcohol too, for the little preheat cup on the generator. That's why you had no ignition. It takes extra heat to get the kerosene...
Dump it out, swirl a little fresh in it, pour that out, and then fill halfway. If the fuel valve and pricker wire still turn, I bet it'll light!...
North American collectors love 339's, especially with the nickel fount that makes them look so much nicer than their 335 homely sister. The...
