Jan 1940 Coleman 228B

A friend gifted me this 228B. It was his late brother's and was headed to the trash heap when he said, "Wait, don't throw that out, I know a guy".
Needed a good clear out of old stinky gas, the usual consumables, and a good polish of the nickel. Starts right up. One of my favorites.

 

she looks great, good on your friend for saving it for you.
Enjoy

Lovely!! I have several 220 and 228B models. These are the best 220/228’s Coleman made!

 

A good story and It's cleaned up nicely

 

That’s a beauty @LightemUp.

 

Definitely what Jean said!

 

A grand old lantern, well saved.

 

I have seen few B's as shiny as that one. That's a great one. So classic.

 

Good save do let your friend know we all appreciate it
