A well deserved fettle there Kevin. Looking forward to your other unknowing pickup fettles :D
Lain I find the transition date to be in 1922... But I don't always agree with the guide book. In my opinion if you have a short fount tall handle...
Looks better to me :)
No, Coleman US did not start dating until late 1924. The cross hatch knurling on your air stem is also correct for your later CQ fill cap. It's...
Hard to tell from the photo, but originally that is just a tapered seat seal where the gen meets the valve assembly.
@ColinG your lamp would've originally had a hex filler bung. Coleman did away with the round knurled filler in mid 1917, as well as the flat...

Thank you all for the nice comments. Neil thank you for sharing about the easily broken valve stems. Luckily this one was in working order.

Thank you gentlemen for the kind words.
Neat Solus stove!! Coleman had some items built in England, but I know little about them. You'll probably get the most help over at the Classic...
@Jon Glasel your non embossed vent was used on 327 lanterns from roughly 1918-1923.
Correct, sorry I don't recall the size. I can look tomorrow. I've seen others buy an extra deep socket, but I'm usually in a hurry and just made...
I use a socket I extended and an electric impact for removing those external 427 pumps.
PW makes a great product. And this one is a beautiful one to boot. Happy to add it to the PW collection. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
@Buggerlugs the generator on the left is actually an iron gen #604-299. It's common to find these on lamps as they're very similar and work just...
