    @Johan Osinga well done on your fettle. I do like your series of pictures, they give a good record and a reference for future fettlers of similar lanterns. It looks like it’s the original globe and the vent is in very good condition ....... a very lucky find.

    So now it looks like I need another lamp, :lol: a 246B, so hunting I shall go. :D/
    Cheers
    Pete

    Is the date on this one not February 1937?
    It has the older "COLEMAN " fount stamp.
