Is there a reason why the entire part could not be made from brass?
Thanks Nils I spotted a supposed 1990 catalog that still had the 1550G so I reckon you are spot on.
@Nils Stephenson , I agree the evidence on the versions is darn tricky to establish presently. A few more catalogs or documents might resolve it....
I believe this Chinese made Optimus is the first version of the 1551 model (ie it has the petromax quicklighter which I do not use). The lantern...
Compatible as in 'Will it work?' - Yes I believe your angled burner is from the mid-50s onwards.
Love the 106 lamps and yours is a nice example.
Marvellous find. Great photos.
Thanks, that is unusual but interesting.
This is the sort of unit that fits into that awkward 1934/35 period. Is it 242K or a 247? This a over a year earlier than my 242K. There is no...

Yes, seemed ok. Thanks
Surprisingly at Burnt Creek, just outside of Horsham at a 2nd hand dealer that has since closed down.
Thanks @JEFF JOHNSON , @MYN , @ROBBO55 and @Tony Press for the kind comments. That is quite uncanny, thanks for pointing that out.
Understanding Coleman single mantle lanterns between 1934 and 1937 is a real challenge as to what is what. I hope to resolve the issues after...
Nice lantern that burns well now. Had an issue with generator and damaged male thread on the valve body. Luckily the single damaged thread got...
My Coleman 242 is one of those ones that you buy but know its real rough and probably just for parts. Then you reconsider and this is one of...
Nice work. I reckon I have one of those retention clips and never knew what it was for. Now I will have to find where I put it. Your bender seems...
