I see traces of seafoam green on the fount but it looks plated. I also have never seen a USA 236, but I have a NOS valve assembly for one. Dan MacP
Just trying to help. Dan
On the 327 it was over the filler cap. I have a factory 427 and it is over the filler cap. Hope that helps Dan MacPherson
Dennis I have one identical to it but one year newer. Dan MacPherson
Thanks! Sorry for the "curve ball". In the earlier days Coleman made only one disc for both single and double mantle lanterns, and the disc said...
Thomas- Really like your lantern, I have two with the same date stamp. What I would like to know is does the direction disc wording say "mantle"...
I've had good luck with weak phosphoric acid solution. Under the carbon is corroded brass. The acid attacks the corrosion and the carbon comes off...
To clarify what I mean, and I apologize in advance for being a smart ass, Coleman chimneys are usually made of mica, a mineral. Old furnaces from...
Are you sure that's not mica? Dan MacP
I believe it is original. I have one (an AGM 100) marked as yours. Another is marked "MacBeth Thermo". Dan MacPherson
As a postscript, I'd like to add that I have a 1957 Coleman 249 that was made in the UK. It has an entirely different globe with a straightline...
Neil- A comment on the staightline globes used until 1945-6. USA-Straightline "Coleman" on front, "Pyrex" with "Made in USA" underneath on the...
Leo- This should teach me not to rely on my aging memory. After reading your post, I checked my 243b, dated 10-65, and the globe has a green...
Bob- does that 1-A tip fit a propane torch? Or are you using an acetyline torch? I'd like to use propane, although I have an oxy-acetyline set up...
A question- What do you use to get the tank hot enough to flow the solder? I think a propane torch would be too hot and might hurt the nickle. I...
Of course, if you REALLY want the CORRECT globe you need a Canadian globe. My 243B has a globe marked with a red sunshine, made in USA but only...
Sorry Mikko I must read more carefully. The fount mounted gauge can be cleaned carefully and that may help. The tiny screws are easy to lose....
The fuel gauge is a small cork on the end of a wire. It is easy to replace. There may not be much of the original (cork) left. I would seal the...
Unfortunately, the can has no hand written mix numbers on it. There is "Preway Green" and another title (which escapes me at the moment) of green...
Most but not all of the 200P appear to have been "accessorized" with a fount mounted manometer and fuel level indicator. They use a fuel cap with...
