Canadian 427? 26 1

I’m pretty sure it’s the incorrect globe..

 

That lantern should restore well enough and some older Coleman lanterns had a mica globe, but that one fits and it will do the job.

 

So I’m looking at the other examples here and reading some threads I’ve noticed that the generating tube is differant on mine than a lot of the others.. I was wondering if it’s the correct one I can’t find a model on the lantern anywhere

 

That generator with a built-in cleaning needle is an R55. Back in the day, they became a bona fide replacement for the original Q99 but you needed a mica shade with a lighting door to operate the pricker.

Ok thanks Henry. Does that mean mines a 327 not 427? Does the external show up on both models?

@Chris1256

Sorry if I've caused confusion, in my eagerness to provide a link which showed an example of a mica with lighting door, I didn't realise the lantern in question was a different model.

@Henry Plews

No need for apologizes... I’m quite new to this and am happy to take any help as I honestly don’t know the answers...

Thanks again
Chris

 

These all take the mica globe. Should work a treat!

 

Hi @Chris1256 .. That is a great find ! Good luck with the rest of the 'resto', and thanks for sharing!

 

What a great find! They always clean up nicely and the external pump tube gives them that special look. Built like a tank, too.

Now you need to find the 427 with the internal pump tube so it has some company!

A very nice find there. The Coleman Quick-lite lanterns are amongst my favourites. They are well built, reliable and run very well.
Enjoy your fettle, spare parts can be sourced from Old Coleman Parts on this link:

I believe he’s been off-line for a while on holiday. However he’s back now and open for business.

Excellent reproduction mica globes can be purchased from Fred Kuntz in America. His email address is:
fredkuntz@adelphia.net
He’s sometimes slow in answering his emails so be a little patient with him, he’s a very nice and helpful man.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Hey thanks all... I have had a Coleman lantern I used for camping along time and always loved it... then I found this classic and now I think there are seven or so hanging in the garage.... the thought of something like that near 100 years years old functioning kinda amazes me...
