The 247R lantern is designed to burn kerosene, but can also burn Coleman fuel.
Both fuels require pre-heat with alcohol in the cup surrounding the generator.
The 247R features a burner assembly of a 247 lantern and the larger tank of a237 lantern.
This lantern probably“fell off the back of the caboose” ast...he saying goes.
A previous owner has placed a name and address plate over the area where theembossed “CPR” would be.
The person I purchased the lantern from indicated that it belonged to thehusband of a former neighbour and that he worked for the City of Calgary.
I have not attempted to see what is under the plate, as I did not want to wreckanything.
Lantern operates, holds pressure and burns well.
Lanterns comes with red rising sun logo globe.
Normal use marks, scuff, scratch and soot.
Some small dents and light rust.
Name plate soldered onto tank.
Installed ash mantle will be removed prior to shipping.
