Vintage Coleman Lantern 237 Sunshine Of The Night Chrome W/ Green Cap
Item History & Price
Chrome tank with green metal top. Single mantle. All original. Rounded Coleman "The Sunshine of The Night" glass globe.
Includes an unused NOS Coleman silk mantle, the shown custom made aluminum reflector and the Coleman flat spanner wrench.
The lantern is complete and the soot has been cleaned off. The gas has been drained. ...r>The tank pumps up and holds pressure and fuel shoots up out of the generator tube when the tip cleaner is turned.
The old gas has been drained and I rinsed the tank with fresh Coleman fuel which when poured out was clean.
There was fuel dripping from the tip cleaner valve when the tank was pressurized some.The fuel cap screws on and off fine. The pump seems to be working as it should. All the threads are good.
I don't see any heavily damaged or repaired parts, just ordinary use and age showing.
Estate find. The lantern was housed in a custom built plywood box that the original owner made when the lanterns were bought.
Some scratches on the tank from the reflector band rubbing the tank. Some pitting and spots of chrome loss on the tank.
Use and age shows overall but the lantern is in very nice condition for it's age. Some nicks on the cap but no serious damage.Will need to be serviced to repair the leaking valve and any other problems you might find.
