Coleman 243K

Hi fellow collectors,

I have recently acquired a Coleman 243K lantern dated A 1941. The lantern is in pretty good condition for it's age. I have done a very light restoration/ cleaning - it pressures well and functions 100%. The lantern was originally found in Rustenburg, Northwest Province, South Africa - a mining town. Regards Jacques

 

A good find.

 

Nice 243K

 

Hey Andrew - many thanks.

 

Nice colour!

 

Hi Jean thanks, this little lantern seems to have been used sparingly. I will post some more pictures.

 

It's cleaned up nicely

 

Much appreciated Robb.

Your lantern is a good candidate for the Reference Gallery when you’re ready.

Cheers

Hi Tony, I will gladly put it up there. Will have to take some better pictures though.

Regards

 

Cheers

It has been moved to the reference gallery, so no need for a new topic.
If you want to add more pics, it's just to keep posting in this topic.

 

Thank you Carlsson.

 

Love the blue!
