    I just got this lamp, an eBay win. It marked Coleman Qicklight. Coleman lamp co. Wichita. On the front is impressed the Coleman trademark and stamped in is the numbers 5 & 3. Does that mean it was made in 1953?

    Just wondering. I have the rest of the bits and want to add a lampshade. Also need to polish some more.

    Much older!
    5 3 means March 1925.

    Oh my,
    Thanks Chris!
    Well it looks good now, I'll have to dress it up with a nice lampshade.
    My mom was born in 1922, so that puts thins into prespective.

    Cheers!
