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 cheers pb
This piece is a Coleman “Accessory Safe”: https://classicpressurelamps.com/threads/coleman-“accessory-safe”.24751/ Tony
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.
