    Coleman model L327. Should have COLEMAN QUICK LITE in the collar. 300cp gasoline lantern. They were date stamped on the tank side after October 1924. If there is no stamp then 1921 to 1924.

    This is quite possibly the best lantern ever made. The fount will stand up to 400psi because it is built like a tank. There are amost no moving parts, just the control valve and a ball check in the inlet filler cap. The globe is mica and it may be brittle but so many have survived and like this one still functional after 80+ years. All they ever need is a clean and new mantles. ::Neil::

    Yes it is Coleman Quick light. Cannot find date stamp and willing to sell just dont know value. Took me quite awhile to remove rust to see the Coleman letters
