New here from Iowa

Hello all,
I am new to collecting lamps and picked up two today, the one on the left I know is a Coleman CQ. The one on the right I think is a AGM 1200. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

 

Hi Sac, welcome aboard, yes thats a 1200 AGM, I have a number of AGM lamps and lanterns i love them, enjoy your collecting, Fank

 

More likely a 1225. These are model 1200s but with the original generator and pricker set up replaced with a hex bush in the burner casting and a coil gen without an integral pricker. ::Neil::

 

Welcome ! - they look like very viable objects for fettling - should look great

 

What I use to clean the generator?

 

Enjoy!

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Thank you

 

Welcome to CPL @Sac
Two good lamps that should clean up nicely, congratulations

The base of the tank is steel so check inside for rust.
Check for leaks. This can be done by pressureising the lamp and submerging the lamp in hot water or spraying with soapy water (watch for bubbles ).

This might be of assistance with the CQ 1919-1924 Coleman CQ

 

Thank you

 

Welcome mate, and enjoy your new hobby.

 

Sac, you might want to check this out in October.
