    Here is my last serviced lantern, a Coleman 223B, I’m impressed with this old gal. Finally in my hands and missing a Preheater cup. Whole burner cage it’s made from brass and nickeled at factory, seafoam vent needs to be addressed and improved with a better one. 300 CP lantern that uses the 249 generator, great big single

    I have to say that it exudes quality. Real solid metal made well with easily servicable parts. I just can't see a modern Colman lasting as long
