@Fireexit1 Do you know a way for me to correctly get a date for this lantern? It has a four digit code under the fount.
@Martin K. The fuel tank may have been a bit more than 2/3 full. The fuel was just to below the filler hole. I also believe I may be using to...
For the Aida, I thought better of the makeshift rubber pump cup. So today, I fashioned one out of a pair of old leather work gloves. It works...

By the way, I want to thank you all for the warm welcome.
It took me a while, but I finally got the 11/74 Coleman 220H running. I disassembled it almost completely. Cleaned it thoroughly. Oiled the...

[ATTACH] Well, I partially disassembled the 1959 Coleman MilSpec and cleaned it. The fount was full of rust. It took a lot of cleaning to get all...
I found a listing on my local FB Marketplace for some vintage lanterns. The guy was just 7 miles from my house. The collection includes a 1959...
