Got this Coleman Canada 03 48 scout lantern. The nickle on the fount is in reasonable condition and the collar has instructions in 3 languages. I think this is a 249 from what I have read so far, yet nowhere it is stated only model reference I can fount is the "Scout" that is stamped on the collar. It has the same generator as a 249 and came without a pre heater cup and has an unmarked globe. Below some pictures of "as is" found condition, I made a pre heater cup from a three quarter copper pipe end cap. Will see how it runs as soon as I get some proper mantles, The one in the picture broke when I dismantled Thanks Jaco
Hi Andrew, strange, maybe this was an omission when stamping? I also have a "D - 46 " that has the number and Scout stamped on the collar. It is not nickle though, painted brass, but the rest of the lantern is the same?
