An Old Favourite.

This is 'Monty' and one of my Favourite lamps. It's in superb nick, though I reckon the mantles are about done.
This is one I take camping a lot. I've got to be careful with the globe though.....Hard to replace, but I managed to get a spare Coleman one that's near enough.

Ward Westernfield 60-9523. Made by Thermos for the Montgomery Ward Dept Store Chain. 1960.

 

Monty as a 'he' may well have this angular shaped look rather than round hips
Never seen before, only knowing Thermos for mil spec lanterns.
He's working well.

That does the job!

 

It's in good condition and I like the blue

 

@Johnny19

Are you going to put some photos of this lantern in the Reference Gallery? It doesn’t appear to be that common.

Cheers

Tony

Edit: I assume it would go under America/Other Brands, if you were up to placing it in the Gallery. Cheers again.

 

Might do Tony, although I see there is the Thermos 8326 in there which is identical. If I do I will take a few more pics of it Cheers!

 

That's very cool! I also have an old Ward's Western Field... But it's my father's old shotgun.

 

Very nice indeed @Johnny19 . Any idea how it ended up in the UK ?

 

Pump NRV too, reliant merely on an O-ring to seal, lacking the Coleman failsafe of a check valve + postive lock/seal scew.

 

See this thread below for a reference to Westernfield.

How rare is a Hakukosha no. 3?

Where can one get a generator for one of these?

 

Hello and welcome @TIMOTHY BROTZMAN

Check out this item AGM Generator
at oldcolemanparts.com I'm confident it's what you're looking for but by all means check with Mike that the cleaning needle is 0.008".
The generator below it is for a single mantle lantern and therefor will have a smaller jet and needle.

 

hi, I'm new to the forum, and I've got a similar lantern (Thermos 8312) which I'm looking replacement mantles for... Do you reckon Coleman peerless #21 would work?

 

Any 200-250cp mantle will do.

 

thanks!
is cp a unit of size?

 

@jimijazz55

“cp” is short for “candlepower” and is a unit of luminosity. Smaller mantles are fitted to lower cp-rated burners; larger mantles to higher cp-rated burners.

Cheers

Tony
