@swiss-paul these pumps are setup a little different than a Coleman. The end of the pump shaft is basically a slotted screw driver. You have to...
Well done Dean!
@Mackburner don't forget Coleman Canada dated a bit differently than their US counterparts. I believe this lantern above is missing the second...

This is the earliest example of the PW junior sized lantern. These have a couple different features than later variants including narrow brimmed...
Paul, those are Canadian patent stamps on your burner photoed. Beautiful lamp!
Neil, thank you for adding that explanation.
