Coleman 157 (Canada) March 1949

Hello all, I was lucky enough to find this Coleman 157 with a Coleman 159X, I forgot to add this in the Reference Galley when I posted the 159X.
They were both sitting on a shelf together, so of course I had to buy them both, who wouldn't?
Besides which one would I choose? Impossible question.
So here are some photos to look at.



Thanks for looking.

 

Very nice

 

A lucky find indeed!

 

Thanks for the comments.

 

I'm going to try to make a lampshade like this
Thanks for the picts !

 

A good example Brian, congratulations

 

Excellent!

Cheers

Hi Brian
That looks very nice and it would have felt lonely left there, so had to come with you.. :-)
The shade really sets it off

is the darker colour a type of green?

thanks,

That's a very nice lamp. I have a Canadian 157 I need to fettle.

 

I believe it's mostly gold, and maybe a tinge of green, this could be the way it was sprayed, or age perhaps?
So to answer your question I am not 100% sure myself.

 

If the 157 is like my 156, it is a gold paint that fades into a cream/off white. The wood handle is the same.

 

Thanks Brian
I can see the gold in the 2nd photo
I suppose it is the device I use
