RARE VINTAGE COLEMAN LANTERN MODEL 201 KEROSENE SINGLE MANTLE 2 - 80
Item History & Price
Up for auction is a Used "RARE" VINTAGE COLEMAN LANTERN MODEL 201 KEROSENE/PARAFFIN SINGLE MANTLE LANTERN, FEBRUARY 1980 With ORIGINAL 550 Globe.
HISTORY & CONDITION: "EXCELLENT" Purchased at an estate sale. 40 years old. I've totally disassembled this lantern, hand cleaned and polished all parts.&nb...sp; ALL original except for: (1) restoration of the tank being that the original paint was blackened and flaking off. "Perfect color match" and baked on at 300 degrees, (2) a correct circa Coleman KEROSENE decal, (3) The collar was blackened as well, so I stripped it and had a very nice 201 decal made as well as a KEROSENE Lighting instructions decal and (4) a new BRASS preheater Cup. The VENTILATOR is in PRISTINE condition with NO chips, cracks or rust. Has the original 550 Red Lettered globe which is clear, NO chips, cracks or discoloration. One tiny ding on the tank/fount just below the Clean out lever and is not detracting in any way! The generator has been cleaned, but for best operational results a new generator is always recommended. All valves turn smoothly and with ease. The lantern pumps up, holds pressure and air flows with no restrictions. A very well made beautiful piece of Coleman history.
