Coleman 249 (Canada; December 1963)

This Canadian Coleman 249, dated 12/63 was found in South Australia.




























The generator looks lightly used.












Original Coleman Pyrex 550 globe.






Up and running




It has a test mantle on in these photos (and it's still on the lamp!).





Here it is (RHS) with its close sibling, from the same sale, a 3/63 Canadian 249.





As testified by others, the kerosene Coleman 249 is a very good lantern.


Cheers

Good finds!

 

Nice!

 

Very nice example

 

Looks to be near mint. The hood is in excellent condition.

 

Burning very well and looks very tidy - a nice stablemate to the others

 

A very nice example, well done.
I just love these kero lamps. I have one that resides in my camping gear.
Cheers

Those are good looking lanterns.
They are good lanterns and I will post my 249 soon which I found late last year.
