    This is a Coleman 200A lantern, 3/81, found in Australia.

    It’s used, and has suffered rust damage, but is in good condition generally.

    This is the last of the USA Cokeman 200A variants.

    Aside from dealing with a bit of rust on the tank, and a lot of rust on the cage, the fettling was straightforward.

    I will fix the Coleman cardboard box it came in, and shellack it as a transport box for the lantern.


    This is a good lantern!



    Cheers

    It looks good.
    We mostly only get the 201 here in SA and more often than not they are really used and abused.
