Coleman Model 15 Hollow Wire

Just over 600 of these were shipped.

 

Be still my beating heart…

That’s a nice piece of hollow wire.

That's a very bonny HW., lamp.

 

Stunning ! And very clever having the one generator.

 

Thanks for posting the catalogue insert @Tony Press
This fixture was missing a few parts and with perseverance I was able to complete it.
The main globe is from a Colt lamp and serves it well as the #78 globes are all but impossible to find.

 

WOW! WOW! WOW!

 

Just Wow. Take Care it will never get scrapped.

 

Congratulations Dean

 

Impressive

 

What a beautiful lamp

 

Really special !!! (understatement)
+ a thing of beauty +
Surely ahead of its time in terms of the design ??

re: the lighting process…
would the outer mantles have been lit first?
Thanks for sharing

Yes for being made in the teens
Main burner (3 mantles) first then outer ones.

 

Thanks Dean !!!

(thinking aloud ; good god.. surely 3 or more hands needed??? )
Fantastic and seriously time warp stuff
