Me thinks Horton was the original purchaser/owner of that lantern and unlike the lantern, is long sense dead

The South Eastern portion of Pennsylvania has produced by my count 7 Aladdin model A lanterns. IDoesn't sound like a lot but there are not many of that model in existence or being discovered anywhere else including in the state where they were produced.

I can’t remember who but, on one of my threads about my Tilly someone was surprised I found one over here seeing they are typically across an ocean. Honestly I was surprised to see one in person at the time. There was a company in Pittsburgh Pa that was importing Tilly lanterns and heaters. If I re...

" I know I live in an area where there should be great finds. " Really ? I'm about a 2 hour drive strait North of you and it kinda sucks around here.

I was at a local flea market and ran across this little single burner stove that was made by Coleman and came with an aluminum case . Looked like a well built stove and wondered if it would work seller didn't know anything about it but He only wanted 12 bucks for it. So I bought it and brought it ho...

Woo hoo. I think I have 5 of these I'm just sitting on. Nos. Don't have any stoves that use them. Got them in a parts lot of mostly stove generators at a local yard sale.

As far as I know, the 413-262 is not in production and hasn’t been for decades. I have 2 in my parts stash. Neither came with the cleaner stem. Only one came with the detachable needle taped to the generator tube. I was able to get the needle and holder from OCP, probably in 2016, to go with my oth...

gpaguy

The newer generator with the skinny tip cleaner stem is far more common, so turning down the stem shouldn't be necessary. I've got a bunch of the newer version and only a couple of the older style. Do you have any 413E/F/G or 426B/C/D stoves to see if their generator works on your 385? No 413's her...

John. This was just the piece of information I was looking for. Thank you very much. I was looking at p/n 413-2621 and wondering. This generator is available and that was what I was hoping for.

Coleman part numbers have always seemed a bit of a mystery to me. Are the first three digits pertaining to a particular model # ? In this case p/n 413-262, does the 413 have anything to do with the model 413 series of stoves ? The reason I ask is I am looking for a generator for a Coleman Canada mod...

In the past it was opened to second guesses In the past It was opened to second guesses if no one got it on the first round or someone's guess wasn't specific enough as to a particular version of a model and someone could still nail it.

I'll check those measurements tomorrow Keith. That would be great if it was something common. I took it apart today and do recall that the valve wheel is permanently attached to the stem.

I'm waiting on a cool Canadian Cabin stove that I won on eBay and in 5 days time it has not left Canada yet. It has only traveled from Windsor to Toronto. I know there's more of this slow motion foot dragging to come with US customs and a trip over to the East coast before it gets here.

gpaguy

I'll bet Prentiss Wabers didn't build very many of those stoves based on , I've never seen one before. And it's in great shape.

Looks like a great gathering. A couple of your pic.s look like they were taken with a drone. I never considered flying my helicopter drone at night. Always considered it a risky enough adventure flying in the daytime when you can see the obstacles like really tall trees.

I saw that early on and put it in my watch list. Didn't get too excited about it because I thought it would really climb in price. I have a partial what I think is a 242K here. It has a nice early tank on it and it has the round pricker wheel on it but missing all the other 242K features.
