Had some fun doing this with the wife on the Saturday before christmas Kayen AP2 Tilley X246 Pork Pie Earlier in the year I also picked up this Coleman 242K, found to be missing the pre-heat cup. I will work on that one later. Date stamped 9 35 The cap of the Coleman is away getting sandblasted, and hopefully re-enameled some time this year A Suggestion for all. Check with your secondary school age children/grand-children/school teacher friend to see if they have jewellery enameling being taught at their school, and ask if they could re-enamel your parts for you. (for a suitable donation to the schools funds [of course])
hi digout, three nice old lamps there, they should fettle up nice, will the wife help? regards for the NY Frank
I've started the fettle on the Kayen, no the wife doesn't help, but doesn't object either, she has a collection of over 500 polar bears, so..... And I've only recently caught the lampitus virus.
Good finds! I'm almost finished another Kayen. Then I have a "pork pie" X246 like yours to get going. I note your X246 is the original model with the short handle, and in good nick by the looks. Yell out if you need a hand with anything. Happy NewYear.
Digout: Try Coleman.com for the priming cup. They carried them several years ago. Also 242 series vents come up of US e-bay with some frequency. Nice finds. Paul
Thanks Paul, I located one on OldColemanParts.com, need to find out shipping details and will place an order.
