220F clamshell base

I've never seen another Coleman lantern with this clamshell band and silver base.
Any info out there would be appreciated.
I have not tried to remove it yet.

 

hi @Travis Herseim and Welcome !

i believe they were used for storing parts and mantles?

hopefully other members can confirm

here is one from the gallery on a 228D

This piece is a Coleman “Accessory Safe”:

Thanks. I will oil the clamp and see what is in it.

 

Welcome aboard!

 

Oiled the heck out of it and got the safe off. I don't think its been off since this thing was made by the looks of the paint on the bottom.
Nice stash I found in the safe.
Thanks for the welcome.

 

Good find!

Tony

 

Useful finds.
