1925 Coleman No327 QL France

I have got this Coleman 327 QL from France. The date of manufacture is 5 1,i.e.January 1925.
She has a different micaglobe. I've made a makeshift repair and hope to buy a new one. I don't know which micaglobe was originally intended for the French Coleman 327 QL ?
Regards Reinhard

 

Well saved!

 

Beautiful job!! These lanterns take a mica globe, not glass. You did a splendid job on this lantern.

 

Hi Reinhard,

I love this old lantern

Regards,
Titoo.

 

Congratulations Reinhardt , it looks in good condition.

 

Thank you all

 

A excellent example of a early lantern, well saved.

 

Thanks for sharing all your hard work! ..Great photos!

You say about a new mica globe but to me it looks fine...is it damaged somewhere or have i missed something??

 

@podbros You've missed images 1 and 3 in the origial post.

 

So I have! ... Silly me..

Thanks @Henry Plews !

Yes, I see why it might be prudent to perhaps do something with the mica...or rather the lack of it

p.s. there is also a forthcoming appointment at a well known opticians in the near future

 

@Reinhard
Hello Reinhard,
I just saw that you also have a Coleman from France. It is in an excellent condition!
Unfortunately, the support frame of my lamp is very rusty. Can you tell me what color you used? I would like to rework my lamp again.

Grüße
Christian

 

2 beautiful old lanterns.

 

Hi @Reinhard
All the 327 QL I have ever seen in France was all painted gold
I think the mica with the door with "drop of water" is the good one for this period

I just bought a spray paint from a hardware store - nothing special.
@Michel
I would particularly like to thank Michel for showing his exzellent sides.

I especially love Coleman's types 327 and 427.Its indestructible,robust construction reminds me of the USS Monitor(1862).Very american.
