@Carlsson Coleman 243A, November 1940; this lantern was considered the “cheaper” version of the 242. Coleman 129, Sept 1934; an attempt at a kerosene burning lamp; it prefers a splash of naphtha in the tank. As you can tell the paint does not like a messy meths application. I’m pretty satisfied with the light they make.
Hi John I would be happy too, they look to be working great! Is it the same size tank for both lamps? I know very little about Colemans except that your little table lamp looks very nice +

1936-1939 132A in Indian Bronze 1930’s Coleman Quicklite 327; needs a good clean Coleman 237 (kerosene) This one is my work horse; it has a great many uses around my house. We had an unusually cold week this year with the temperature staying around 11 degrees for the better part of a week. I used this lantern to keep our water line from freezing over when night fell. They have both deserved a complete rebuild and polish. I’m going
This FL6 has been relegated to the back of the shed for too long; she’s going to a new home in the next weeks; so I’m gonna get my usage out of it.
Well it is what they were made for ! The FL6 is one of the more satisfying lamps to get out and lit up, but a bit of a pain to move about (especially if your collection lives in the basement)
Why yes it is; they are popular yard art around here. He is 6 foot 4 inches at the crown of his cowl. it was a bit dark so the three amigos helped out with the lighting. Thank you, John
