    I found this lantern on FB and I got excited because at first I thought it was the so-called Coleman "Christmas lantern". But it's just your standard 200A, dated 6/63. Except, the fount is a greenish/black color instead of the usual red.
    I can't find any reference to this color being used on a 200A. I do not think it has been repainted; if it was, they did a superb job. It seems like a factory paint job.
    It's been apart, as you can see from the horrendous clocking. But it pumps up, holds pressure and gurgles fuel. It would light if it had a mantle.
    Does anybody have any info on the unusual color of the fount?
    Thanks,
    Burns
