    It’s a Coleman shade @Jean J .

    They were sold here in Australia. Tony Press has a nice example with the pattern still visible.

    Of course,I should have remembered that as I’ve admired Tony’s shade before. Kayen, Coleman or Tilley, I would dearly love to have one or two or even three.

    That’s a fine example, @Buggerlugs.

    The cast aluminium mixing chamber in the burner is an interesting feature.

    Cheers

    Woops, sorry @Buckaroo!

    I’m not sure whether it was me being too trigger happy on the iPhone or negligence — probably the latter! ](*,)

    Apologies to @Buggerlugs as well.

    Thanks for posting the detailed photos, @Buckaroo.

    One of the issues I had trying to work out the model of my beaten up Coleman 159X was that the “Coleman Book” doesn’t show the generator setup for the 157.


    Cheers

    @Tony Press - yes, the Coleman book is missing some detail when it comes to lamps
