So the big question is, do you have the top lantern (L427) with the R55 roto-generator and no access hole in the burner frame baseplate, or the...
My understanding is that once the generator is hot, it's no longer liquid fuel shooting out the tip but gasified fuel. I don't think a generator...
You've been lucky. These Petromax clones have a rubber disk that keeps the pressure in the tank. If it starts leaking, you've got a pump tube...
It does exist, but it won't do well at the temps the vent reaches in my experience. Yellows and gets a burnt look. It does well on an engine block...
Coleman Canada stuck with brass founts with steel bases up to 1970-ish on models like the 220E, even earlier to all steel on the 200 (1967ish?)....
Yes, that's correct. As I said above, seafoam is an unofficial name collectors have adopted. I'll have to hunt around a bit, but I'm sure a...
That 249 is a rare bear with the collar painted seafoam as well. Nickel was still in short supply so paint it was. The dark green vents are seen...
That sounds like "seafoam" which is kind of the unofficial name for the colour. I think Coleman called it "light green" in some brochures. A 249...
Got 4 or 5 hours to spare? Just kidding, and Tony supplied a good production date list. But you are absolutely correct that hybrids exist from...
The month is way over on the other side of the logo, just above the "C" in Coleman. Looks like an eight. Loads of 242Bs in Canada, but that...
Hi Keith, Yup, life is a challenge and I've got to say that an hour away from those pressures restoring your Dad's old 200 is time...
Nice shade, I wasn't sure if Roland was still making them. Also nice to see the mica chimney hanging as it should with the hooks in the little...
Coleman Canada had both the 247 and 249 labelled "Scout". Canada is littered with the 247 model. The 249 Scout is much more unusual to find. The...
Nice! You even got the checkvalve out of the 200 (the thing on the end of the shaft the pump rod slides over). They can be absolute swines to...
10-4. Thanks! $12 CAD and that includes shipping. I'm in! Mike.
Exact same thing here, just insert "Canada Revenue Agency". So polite of them to give you a second chance. Mike.
Ohhhhhhh, that's a real sweetheart and inspiration! I've got one sitting on my shelves awaiting restoration and it sure doesn't look like your...
Thanks Eiremax. I figured any site with 16 pages of mantle packet images might be OK with some gas can pics... That Eddie Stobart Truck book is...
Sorry to disappoint. I was going to post a picture of a box full of alcohol bottles and get all excited about opening it but it had already been done.
Here's some Coleman filling cans. Both about 4.5L and neither as stylish as the examples above! This one is pretty common with the embossed...
