Coleman 158 table lamp

I found this lamp in a pawn shop in a small town in South Africa. It was completely covered in silver spray paint, and was incomplete. The pump, globe, globe holder and filler cap thumbwheel nipple was missing.

I did what I could and ended up with a working Frankenstein (DIY parts and a Veritas globe) . It burns bright with a merrily hiss, and I have become quite fond of the little lamp.

 

Great job

 

Nice.

A silk purse out of a sow's ear.

 

Well done, Johan! Those Veritas globes are very versatile!

 

Yes, i agree. I've the same on my Tilley TL10 ( Thanks to Phil )

 

Nice work Johan, congratulations

 

It's working well!

 

Thank you very much gentlemen. My wife would say that I don't need the encouragement, but it really is satisfying to bring an old lamp back to life.

 

That’s a very nice looking lamp. It’s nice to bring this back to life.
