Great save on that one Tony! Sometimes they just need everything :D What kind of wick material are you using in your pre-heat cups?
Looks to have an air obstruction. Most common is spider webs and mud daubers. Restricted burner screens are often seen as well.
@HR.JUNG you have a bit of a mixed lantern here... This is not uncommon with a lantern that is pushing the century mark. We'll start at the bottom...
Thank you all for the kind words. I've been called Quicklite nuts :content:
Several holdover features from the first gen 327's and early 323's. Such as flat filler bung, round face valve wheel, and lighting door frame. New...
Mainly posting this one to show the different NRV compared to other Prentiss Wabers made products. This style fount must have been the transition...
Thank you gentlemen for the kind words. Happy to have added this one to the fleet.

The earliest B's had what we call a long eccentric block... These would not come out the top of the housing. Rather they were removed from the...
Thank you all for the kind words and comments. Neil, thanks for sharing your thoughts as well.
Picked this one up recently from one photo assuming it was a Coleman AA. Once I received it I knew it was something else. Valve and burner setup...
What a beauty Tony! Any low valve Coleman lamp is a special piece to a collection, yours just happens to be a looker as well :D well done :thumbup:
Very well done. Great save on a very deserving lamp :thumbup:
