    It seems strange to us but it is nevertheless true that Coleman keo lanterns are always hard to find in the US. This is simply because people did not buy them and prefered the faster lighting of a gasoline product. Here in the UK the general population is paranoid about gasoline lamps being so dangerous that we have always prefered kero. So Coleman sold a lot more kero stuff here than gas lamps. I know 201 was sold here by Scout Shops and my own example came from there when they were selling off lamps used as demo models. Got to be plenty around here. ::Neil::
