I believe this lantern to be a Canadian Coleman Model 242K but am not 100% positive on that. The lantern is dated Sept 1935 and has several of the trademark 242K characteristics but is missing some as well so not exactly sure what the deal was but this was how it was found. It does have the different pump shaft with the pin through it and the dual split collar as well as the green underside on the top vent. What I see missing from other 242K's I have had is the sliding match door for l...ighting, brass hex screw on the filler cap and the thin disc style tip clean instead of the bent wire and the cast alcohol preheater. All this being said I believe most of these discrepancies are not real uncommon. Lamp is in decent condition with a few dents on the fount and some crazing on the vent but overall still displays well and still has its early Sunshine logo globe. This is untested but valve moves freely so it should be an easy job to get it fired. shipping will be $40 in Canada, $45 to the US or actual if less , overseas ask for price please.
