Red and Green Coleman Kerosene Lanterns

These have been standing on a shelf for a few years since I fettled them.
This afternoon I re-discovered them and decided to give them a bit of excercise.



From the left, 201 11/75 231 1/76, 231 also 1/76 and 201 9/79





Filled them with fresh paraffin, pumped and primed and they all fired right up.
Good old Coleman reliability!

 

A fine light up!

 

Very nice light up.

The autumn is time for us Southern Hemisphere folk to start lighting early evening lanterns.

Cheers

Tony

 

Indeed! Cooler weather and longer lamp hours are always a good thing.

 

The're in great shape Phil.

 

Looking great!

 

Good work Phil

Those 201's are nice little lamps, I am still waiting for a little red number to come my way.

Kind Regards

 

That is a lot of hard to find here in the USofA !! nice line up!

 

They look good.
Here’s the only 231 I own.
