    Hi all, I’m a new and first-time post here. I just got this beautiful 200A, bottom stamp 68 (1968). Just wonder is it the original vent or it already replaced. According to info from Google, Coleman changes the high vent to a short vent in 1963. Is anyone has seen any 200a after 1963 with the high vent? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know the answer to that - but I can see that it is a very nice lantern indeed. And welcome to the forum !
    Is yours American or Canadian ?

    Super NICE 200A. I'd be shocked if the vent isn't original as everything looks consistently similar in age , color etc.

    LOL, Tony. Thanks for remining me, just overlook it.

    Fireexit1, sorry about that. The lantern is made in the USA.

    the proper clocking of the valve assembly, fuel cap and pump assembly also suggests made in the USA or at least if completely fettled, correctly clocked.
