    Can anyone identify this large Coleman burner cap (ceramic), pictured here with a 242B burner cap?

    Weren't they used on a 236 at some stage? The identical design is used on the Primus 1060, which borrowed it's design from the 236.

    According to Agostino they were often installed in 1953.
    I have them on a 237, a USA 249 and three Canada 249’s.
    They also came in a 242 size.
    @phaedrus42 has some of those.

    Have one on a 200a, I believe 7/54 or 53 I need to double check. Not the same size but smaller version.

    Have seen several 236's with this style of burner cap. I am sure I have a NOS one in an original Coleman packet with a 236 part number on it -
    I am not sure that I can easily find it though!!!!!

    Size to me indicates probably 236/237 lanterns. It looks like it would be too big in diameter for a 200 or 242 type lantern.

    Could be.... I would think any Coleman lantern around the same size of a 220 type or slightly larger.

    I was thinking perhaps 237, I’m thinking that my 237 has one similar to this. I’ll check today.

    Definitely 237 (maybe others also)

    I have a 237 (7, 49) Canada with this IMG_20200415_100048[1].jpg Coleman 237  7-49 Nozzle  3.jpg
    Unfortunately this is how it came but interesting the curve of the holes (I surmise the curve of the holes would be from use not manufacture)
