    Hi Folks,

    I'm new here and recently have caught a terminal case of the camp stove bug. The condition has worstened and I'm now into pressure lamps as well. I picked up my first last week. Its a Coleman 157 complete with original paperwork. Found it for $50.

    It appears the globe is not original, and it does not come with a shade. I'd like to pick up a milk glass shade. I understand you can get a "bottom rim fitter" in order to make this work. Can someone explain rim fitters, or send a pic?

    The fount is in great shape. I'm considering painting. It looks nice enough how it is but the paint is flaking. What do you think?

    Welcome aboard!:thumbup:
    Yes, the lamping bug bites deeply! :lol:
    Your lamp looks fine as it is, that's my opinion anyway.
