For sale, a 242B and an 8/64 200A. I can't seem to find a date on the 242. The vent is nice, some minor chipping around bail cutouts, no dents that I can see. Red letter Pyrex globe. The 200A has no noticeable chips that I can see, no dents that I can see, red letter Pyrex globe. Both are dusty and ...

RLM

Reducing 2/76 to $30 plus ship, or $50 plus ship with red letter globe.

RLM

Dropping price on 2/76 to $35 and shipping.

RLM

Hi. For sale, the last of my 200As, a 2/76 (2/76 sold), 3/56 (3/56 sold), and 10/54 (10/54 sold). No globes. A few small chips, 3/56 has one small ding below decal. I haven't gone through these, but shouldn't take much to get them going. Asking $40 each plus shipping. I will partially disassemble th...

RLM

Hi. For sale, a couple more 200As. The first is a 9/53. There's a few small chips in vent. Has ceramic burner cap, steel collar, and small hole vent. Not much rust outside, but there is some in the fount. No globe. Asking $40 plus ship (SOLD). The second is clean 10/69 with no chips in the vent. One...

RLM

What year did the blue dot disappear from 200A vents?

RLM

ALL SOLD, thanks. Hi. I have a few 200As available. The first is a 1/63. The vent has a few small chips, and there are a couple minor dings in the fount. There is some paint loss. Comes with a red letter globe with one faint white mark. Asking $50 plus shipping. The others are a 9/76 and an 8/68. Th...

RLM

For sale a nice white/mint vent off a 4/70 5122. Fits a short vent 200A perfectly. Side by side there seems to be no difference other than color. There is one noticable chip and a few imperfections and tiny nics here and there. Nice overall. Asking $20 plus shipping (SOLD) to the lower 48 via PayPal...

RLM

It looks white to me. Are there two versions?

RLM

For sale a 4/70 5122 Propane. Works, ran for several hours before running out of fuel. I was going to part this out, but thought someone here might want it. Vent does have a few small imperfections and tiny nicks, and one noticable chip. No globe or fuel cannister, but everything else is there. Aski...

RLM

I have a a 5122 propane I'm thinking of parting out. So far looks like the globe, vent, bail, burner parts, and valve wheel are interchangeable with a 200A. Is the Burner cage interchangeable as well? From first glance it looks the same. Is there anything else worth saving? https://i.postimg.cc/8cwH...

RLM

Just ordered a new decal from OCP and wondering how to prep the lantern fount before applying it?

RLM

The vent nut, sorry, should have been more specific.

RLM

What size vent nut fits a 242? Looking for something locally to fit my lantern.

RLM

I've heard some people talk about repairing a globe with super glue. I'm just curious what repairs work, what ones don't, prep, brand of glue, type, etc. Also, do they hold up?

RLM

Will Coke or vinegar hurt a nickel plated brass fount?

RLM

Found this at the thrift store. Looked like solid lead, so I brought it home. I assume it's for some type of fishing, but just curious if anyone here might know?

RLM

Found my first one back around 2010 for $18 at an antique shop in Huntsville, Texas. They seemed to be somewhat common down there at the time. I recently picked up another for $8.00. It's missing the bail, does anyone know if it's the same bail as the 200a?

RLM

I believe it's rotating, just little to no resistance.

RLM

What causes a 295 valve to suddenly become loose to turn and not pass fuel? Is this a Schrader problem, or do I need to replace the entire valve/pickup? If it's a Schrader problem, can they likely be purchased locally?

RLM

So could I just dunk the bottom in a shallow tray of the stuff and fill the inside with it and let it sit?

RLM

Hi. Just wondering if it's safe to use Evaporust with nickel plated brass fount, or is there a better method? I'm hoping to save this 237. Thanks. Rob

RLM

Hi. Looking for something I can use to wipe down lantern founts without having to do a complete tear down. Obviously needs to be something that won't hurt the paint and doesn't need to be rinsed off, but will get that gunky dried residue off. Thanks.

RLM

I'm a little curious on this since the 275/5114 globes are getting hard to come by. What is your experience with the 220/228 globes fitting in these lanterns? I have come across at least one U.S.A. replacement globe that fit perfectly with even a little play. It was a rather thin globe. Most I have ...

RLM

I bled off the pressure by slowly opening the cap and quickly closing it several times. I know, not safe, but I couldn't let it run all night and keep everyone up in camp.

RLM

What would be the cause of a CL1 flooding on start up and not wanting to shut off? I assume it's a valve problem? This one was hardly used and I have installed a heatshield.

RLM

Just curious if an older tall vent 200a will fit well in the small yellow clamshell cases?

RLM

I gave them a call this afternoon, the replacement is on the way. These really are a pretty nice lantern, it's nice to see Coleman still making something like this. I'll definitely be buying more. They ought to make a white gas version and sell it alongside the red 200B. Those are the only two fuel ...

RLM

Well finally got a response from Coleman asking me to send a bunch of pictures for warranty service or something on the cooler pack. The whole e-mail seemed kinda automated and generic. Maybe it's time to call them.

RLM

Well got home from out of town this evening planning to check out the other 639 that was supposed to have been delivered late yesterday. This is what they sent me instead.

RLM

Both of the ones I've had a chance to look at arrived safely. Yes, very thick paint, I can barely read the stamp on the bottoms. The porcelain looks nice and thick as well. Both dated 8/22. One thing I noticed is they seemed to use a lot of oil on the pumps. Both had oil dripping down the fount, and...

RLM

I received two of the three I ordered today, the other is supposed to be here tomorrow. I haven't had a chance to check them out yet, I'll be doing that in the morning. The boxes looked okay, and I didn't hear any broken glass.

RLM

Hi. Just curious what cases work well with the 639C kero? Thanks.

RLM

Nice, the link worked, thanks!

RLM

Crown kero seems to be the cheapest and most readily available locally (Walmart), but I hate the jug it comes in. No matter how careful I am, the kero always runs down the side of the jug and all over the place. Also, the cap seems to strip out if you get it very tight. The fuel itself seems fine. I...

RLM

Yeah, used that same link. The fnf code doesn't appear unless I input it at checkout. If I remove the item, leave the site, and come back, the fnf is applied to everything, but you have to remove it at checkout to enter the BONUS code. Maybe it only works for those who have previously purchased some...

RLM

I must've tried four different browsers, wifi and mobile data, PC and phone. Same deal, fnf already applied, go to checkout, only option to enter code if you remove the old one. It's frustrating, but guess $75 shipped is still a pretty good deal.

RLM

Well I tried, but can't make it work, oh well. Mine also automatically applies the fnf discount when I log in, but only gives me the option to enter another code if I remove the other. Tried it on both my PC and phone. Must be a glitch or something. The price also jumps to $129 each if I increase th...

RLM

Hmm, can't seem to figure out how to apply both codes. As soon as I enter one, the option for another disappears. Any ideas?

RLM

It looks like Coleman is running a 30% off sale on their website. That puts the 639 kerosene just under $75 shipped after tax. Not a bad price if you're in the market for one.

RLM

I think the plastic cap came about in '92 or so, so it's been about 30 years. The plastic cap never made any sense to me. I mean they still had to manufacture the metal one for the replacement pumps, so why have two and make the customer have to switch them for whatever type they need? Given the cos...

RLM

Thanks for the heads up, ordered two. Great price for new in box with the case. Does anyone know if they come with a funnel?

RLM

Hi. I picked up an early 5107 propane with a frosted band globe today. I cleaned it up, tied on a fresh mantle and lit it up. It seems to burn okay, but won't shut off. Also the brand new mantle from Walmart immediately developed a split so I can't really run it. Do I try to turn it down as low as i...

RLM

Just curious what you all consider to be a common lantern or stove? I'd have to say 220s, 228s, 285s, 288s, 290s, and 295s for lanterns. Any suitcase stove would qualify. Are there any others you'd add to the list?

What's the marking on the globe?

Looks to be a Coleman amber, blue/gray text.

RLM

Would this be worth picking up? I don't know much about these.

RLM

I just thought I'd ask. Do any of you happen to have a 7/83 222 in your collection? I'm looking for a birthday lantern, and right now just trying to determine if they even exist.

RLM

I'm looking for a friend. Were any lanterns made in July 1983? From what I understand Coleman ended the 220s and 200A in 6/83, so wondering if any of the CL series lanterns or anything were made in July.

RLM

Hi. I'm just curious what others are using to clean their vents? In one of Frank's Old Town Coleman tutorials he mentioned that abrasive cleaners could potentially dull the porcelain. Would something like Dawn dish soap work okay, or should I just stick with plain water? Thanks. Rob

RLM

I've played around with them quite a bit. They actually put out a decent amount of light, especially the larger ones with wider wicks. I love the simplicity of them.
