I finally decided to sign up today. I’m not new to the hobby and enjoy getting these GPA’s up and going again. My son got into collecting a couple of years ago so between what he picks up and I pick up, we’re staying busy lol! I live in the U.S. and my son and myself have attended several of the Coleman lantern gatherings over the past few years. I joined the ICCC in 2019 and have enjoyed the benefits that go along with it. Lots of awesome people in this hobby!! Both of us collect all different types of lanterns, lamps, stoves, irons, and heaters. I’m looking forward to seeing as much as I can here on the CPL! Here’s a Canadian Coleman 321a */76 that my son bought around the Fall of last year. The schrader valve quit working properly so I was happy to get it fixed and going again. Added some wax to the fount while it was apart. I’m loving the frosted globe!
Wow, the 321 is a beauty, and that frosted globe really makes it special! Was the globe an American Mantle by any chance? I bought a couple for some British Veritas Superb lanterns I fixed up as the originals are very hard to come by. They're not a perfect fit but they're good enough. Welcome to the forum BTW.
@ColinG The globe was on it when he bought it so I’m not sure. At the moment, it’s the only frosted globe either of us have in our collection. We’ll be getting more as they just look neat.
@ROBBO55 Thank you! It has definitely been handled gently over the decades by previous owners. I was surprised that the label is still completely glued to the fount. Usually they’re lifted up in places.
@Big Ferd Great to see you here on the forum, I’ve enjoyed your YouTube content for several years now. Regards, Jeremy (aka Broadlander)
@BigFerg Interested in knowing how you fixed your 321A & its schrader valve issue as I have the same problem but until now can’t fix it??? Thx
