    @Michel
    I believe Fred was in an motor accident, and is now recovering. I’m not sure if he’s back at work yet.
    I heard this from the Coleman Collectors Forum.
    Cheers

    I heard he would still make a number of standard-size globes for Coleman lamps but no custom-made ones. But that information may not be correct any longer as I got it a year ago or so.

    I will have to check but I have an email from a few months ago where he said he retired but had given me some other person's name... Just email him...I think the number is bad but got an email back.

    I wonder if he's doing them for the likes of a Thomas Kerosafe 1004 lantern which is a step beyond the normal plain globe... :-k [-o<
