    These don't turn up often. I think I have seen maybe less than 10 over the years. Around the early 1920s Coleman sold these lanterns in France which hve polished and lacquered brass tanks and hoods with the globe cage and support collar painted gold. Air-O-Lantern QL and the later 327s were sold like this. You have a nice rare thing. ::Neil::

    Beautiful example! :thumbup::thumbup: Looking at the totality of the components as original, I believe dates this one to late 1922 possibly early 1923, As Neil mentioned it’s rarity, in addition by also still having the original correct time line reflector mica globe is a rarity in itself. :clap:

    I thank you all for your interest.
    I'm sorry to respond to you so late.
    Dear MYN this lamp works perfectly with the reproduction of Mike from Old Coleman Parts.
    The reproduction of the generator is perfect :content:

    Best regards,
    Titoo.
