Coleman 236 (Canada; 10/1950)

This is a Canadian Coleman 236 dated 10/1950 (10 50).












“10 50”








Note the incorrect handle (bail) that came with the lantern; now replaced.
















Up and running

(Fitted with a replacement globe)






This lantern is working very well.

The build quality of that lantern and it's 237 sibling is good, did you have to remove the check valve?

 

No, Jeff. The fettle on this lamp was: "cleaned the tank by rinsing twice; cleared the air tubes".

Nice lantern Tony

 

Let me guess , a stretched out 242 bail and it hit the ventilator ?

 

Correct, @D_Vernon.

Hello Tony, a simple fettle makes a change.

 

Now you need a kerosene 237 to go with it.

Superb, long been on the wish-list (along with a Primus 1060).

Very useful reference photos as well

One of the best looking lanterns with the larger 660 globe, IMHO. Reliable too.
