Good lanterns, preheat well when running on kerosene

 

Love mine, one of my brightest!

 

Thats rather nice! When you get a photo of it you should post it! Im after one of these now

 

The 249 is well worth the effort to repair and get going.

 

Thanks for opinions guys i will do my best to get it ready to go but for the first time ever im going to leave its battle scars as they all tell part of my grandfathers story .

 

Battle scars are good!

Cheers

Tony

 

Definitely one of the best, if not the best in the Coleman stable!

 

My 249 dated 3 45 is a favourite lantern. Reliable, bright and easy to light up. A good little campsite light.
