Coleman lantern cracked#
All of these of which I am aware are cracked or missing a piece of glass in nearly the same place and pattern on the upper right. on the back this one, in George Remkus’ collection, is not. This embossed Coleman globe came on a 242B. The instructions call for storing the lantern upside down on a rag or newspaper in the can (to protect the mantle). This “Handy Pail” came with a 242B inside when Dwayne Hanson found it. 36 “Handy Pails” made for Junior size lanterns. in Los Angeles, California, manufactured or had these No. We believe that the Coleman Lamp and Stove Co.
The 242B on the left, owned by Doug & Nadine Rorem, is dated Oct. The air tube from the base of the pump to the top of the fount prevents gas from leaking back out the pump if the check valve should fail. Jim Nichols spent many hours profiling the cut-away 242B lantern (right) in his shop to create the image that you see here. The Bureau of Reclamation had been active in the western US since the early 1900s by building canals, dams, and power plants in 17 western states. Nick Loe, whose collection this is in, determined that it was probably the property of the US Bureau of Reclamation. This Coleman 220B is date stamped September 1937 and is also engraved USBR 4410.3 on the lower rim (both images) and USBR on the shoulder of the fount by the pump (not seen). The later version of Model 243A has a ball nut to hold the ventilator in place. The lantern on the right, in Dan MacPherson’s collection, is dated Aug.
The pump is now a typical Coleman pump with a positive shutoff. 1937 and still has a centering stud on the top of the burner in lieu of a ball nut. The lantern on the left, in Neil McRae’s collection, is dated Aug. Model 243A was made for several years beginning in 1937. This lantern, in Neil McRae’s collection, has the month stamp obscured by galvanizing. Economy features include a one-piece ventilator, steel burner casting (rather than brass), painted fount (not nickel plated), and a European style pump with a bayonet mount on the handle. Model 243 was an economy lantern made in 1936. This lantern is in Mark Baldwin’s collection. The 235 in the middle has the original globe, is stamped LQ on the fount base, and is dated December, 1935. This lantern is in Fred Kuntz’s collection. The 234 is all original and dated February, 1936. Coleman kerosene lanterns, Model 234 (one mantle, 175 cp) on the left, and Model 235 (two mantle, 300 cp) in the middle and right.
