    Today is my birthday so took the day off work and yes could not resist finishing off the Coleman Quicklite and get her to life. This baby was made in March 1937, gee I hope I am burning as well as this when I am 75yrs old!
    This afternoon went 4wd down at the river and picked 1.5kg of blackberry, yep the better half is making apple and blackberry pie as I write, yum! Oh what a good day to cap off with a bottle of NZ Riesling. I'm going to sleep well tonight :lol:

    I am pretty sure Wichita had stopped making these by about 1933 so a later one is more than likely to be Canadian. Pump left or right? Probably means little because the valve may have been removed at some stage and put back the "wrong" way. Not something I would rely on for diagnosis therefore. ::Neil::
