Regardless of which paint you use, the phosphoric treatment would still be a good idea to get rid of any rust the evaporust misses. If you get the...
Tony, if it's all steel I'd look toward a 220B or 220BX, something produced in the 40s. Some of the war time stuff was all steel. Ask on CCF and...
V tip .007" and P tip .009"
Tony, one too many 0s. V tip is 7 thousandths.
PWs are great lanterns, but are a bit different from Colemans in their construction. Their weak spot is the steel valve stem. It serves as the...
If it's an AGM I'd pressure check before wasting a pair of mantles.
I use Rustoleum, Duplicolor and Krylon rattle can paints for most lantern and stove founts and cases, VHT for the bits that need high temp paint...
The flounder lights I'm used to seeing along the Gulf coast look like this. This particular one was apparently commercially made using replacement...

It is a Prentiss-Wabers (PW) model L46S. They made the same lantern for resale by Sears. The Sears version would have a model number starting with...
@Tony Press Them came with a straight globe, same as a 220/228. The large bulge globe fits 236/237 or the newer kerosene equivalents. Looks good...

Just to be a bit pendantic, the Coleman valve isn't a NRV (non-return valve). A NRV makes a air/fluid tight seal and allows no air or fuel to pass...
@Michael D. Everyone has their own method for installing mantles. I have developed this one over time and I get a nice uniform expansion pretty...
Look here, 7th picture down to see a restored example of your lantern. Akron Lamp Co. lanterns
1st, WD40 is not a penetrating oil. Use Kroil, 50/50 mix of acetone and automatic transmission fluid, or any other commercial liquid that bills...
I agree it's most likely a cup in need of replacement, but just to be sure, you are holding your thumb over the hole in the top end of the pump...
I recommend against the water/air space/heat option. A rupture under those conditions can lead to a significant emotional event. A leak with air...
Look at these two discussions on ways to solve your problem. Removing a fount dent without ruining the fount or killing myself. - The Coleman...
Coleman 327. It takes a separate, external pump.
