My 1975 Mil-Spec

A friend emailed me and asked me if I wanted this Coleman Mil-Spec. Well, I hemmed and hawed... and said "oh hell yeah!"
So I picked it up and all I had to do was replace the cap gasket. It lit right off and it is loud!
Someone along the way replaced the original knob with what looks like a screwdriver handle. I'm going to leave it because it's part of it's story.

 

It's in excellent condition (despite the screwdriver), Congratulations.

 

Great lantern and great luck it fired right up.

 

It's in great condition and even if it isn't original, the screwdriver handle is kinda fun!

 

Good runner with character.

 

A fine example.

 

A 1975 coleman I guess? You got it running at once.
Mine is a bit shy with lighting, needs some time.
Roaring is the right sound. Well done
