This is an old rough Coleman 249 kerosene pressure lantern, original, but still burning like a champion. It is dated 4/47, brass tank painted green, steel collar which is rusty, but still has some of the original green paint. Green sea foam hood, has big rust chips on top and a couple of small rust holes. Frame is dirty, fitted with an old mica globe, no holes but it does show damage from denting. No dents to the tank, black stencil still on the bottom, some small rust spots on the bot...tom, bail handle rusty. I cleaned out the old fuel, cleaned the generator and fitted new seals, now burning, a great old post war era collectable that works.
