Post those pics!

ih61guy

Very true! Praying!

ih61guy

Does anyone collect railroad switch locks or keys?

ih61guy

Does anyone know what months of 1961 these were built?

ih61guy

Keith,would you mind posting a picture?
Sure wish I could find a 1961!

ih61guy

No Dan,afraid I don't! I was just noticing on ICCC Coleman date code page that they were offered until 1965 i think.

ih61guy

Has anyone ever seen a 1961 Canadian 242b?

ih61guy

Does anyone know what was last month of USA 237s in 1969?
What about Canadian 237?

ih61guy

Advantages of one over the other?

ih61guy

Is the grate design the same with the 426s?
I've seen photos of a 426d with straight grates,and 426d circle spider web type.

ih61guy

It's on a 236. I have a bulge globe for it.

ih61guy

Is this canadian globe from mid to late 60s?

ih61guy

I'm getting ready to install upper 237 on a 220e. I knew 237 and 275 shared same thread size. I'm sure a 249 upper hard to come buy,more so than 237s.

ih61guy

Has anyone done this on a 275 fount?

ih61guy

What about sanding over the logo?

ih61guy

Joshua,
It looks great. So,did this start as a painted fount?

ih61guy

Some nice looking lanterns there folks.
Here is the fount I want to polish for a 237.

ih61guy

What this one is Fred,is a painted 7/61 220 fount i've had forever. I've come across a 237 with a bad fount. I want to strip and polish it for the 237.

ih61guy

Who has polished a steel fount?
What did you use?
How did it turn out?
Thanks

ih61guy

Thanks folks. I have a 7/61 birthday fount,and hae 237 with bad fount. Will look good,and will have a birthday 237 so to speak.
Thank you Carlton for the nice picture.

ih61guy

I've tried searching,but want verification. Is 220/228 founts same thread as 237.

ih61guy

I acquired this 1961 canister for a m1950. Has anyone ever seen a 1961 m1950?
I'd like to find one someday.

ih61guy

UncleFred
Sent you a pm.

ih61guy

What do you all think? Mica almost gone,but figure it's original to lantern!

ih61guy

I have some dried fuel in a 327 fount.I had this one other time, just cannot remember what dissolved it.
I appreaciate a mind jog.

ih61guy

Are they fragile? I don't mind them being little dimmer,but hope they last a little while!

ih61guy

I guess I have used the last of my 2C-HG Peerless today before they moved to India. Is there any made in this day and age that are worth tieing on?

ih61guy

I'm just gonna put all in a icecream bucket on a shelf for now. I might run accross parts at a later date. I learned a lesson on this one. Plus was very rusty to begin with.

ih61guy

Well,I sprayed it again and let it sit overnight.
But still ruined the burner.
I doubt I can find a burner and manifold.

ih61guy

All I have is a propane torch. How do I get to the threads with oil?

ih61guy

Is there a trick to getting burner unscrewed from manifold on a 502? I am starting to bend the manifold. I have a 3/8 3 finger oil filter wrench I am using.
Thanks
Rod

Andrew, found a picture of 2/60 4m that I have included.

ih61guy

Andrew,I saw photos of a 1/61&2/62. Dates were under tabs of fuel tank.

ih61guy

Does anyone have a general idea what months 1961 Canadian 4m were produced?

ih61guy

Has anyone tried a shoe buffer on Coleman nickel? Found this today at a place my wife has a booth. Doesn't appear very high rpm,and i'm guessing maybe a 16th hp. There isn't any specs on it. But for $4 i'm gonna try.

ih61guy

Thank you! I will see if I can find one.

ih61guy

Has anyone seen a 7/69 502.
Thinking about a project.

ih61guy

Those are beautiful,Ed.
I will find one sometime.
Thanks for posting!

ih61guy

What months of 1961 Canadian 500 has everyone seen?

ih61guy

Yes! Have always wanted one. I might offer some less. Doubt I eer seeone in the wild again.
I'll just have to see. Not positive yet what i'll do.

ih61guy

This USA 242b has the date of 7 left & 8 right.
But doesn't have a fount stamp at all.
I thought that the large fount stamp started in late 1937. This should be July 1938, correct?

ih61guy

At the time,didnt have the extra money. We have to go back that way in a couple of weeks. Hopefully then,MAYBE!!!!

ih61guy

Saw this in the wild over the weekend! Dated 2/50 priced at $347.00. More than I could pay.

ih61guy

Thank you Steve. I appreaciate your knowledge. I will probably stick a red one on for now. Is there any others besides the 530 that used a burgandy knob? Like to stay original.
Thanks

ih61guy

I picked a decent 530 stove up this weekend.
All looks good,but missing fuel valve knob.
Were they red,or more of a burgandy color like my other two?
I may need to find one.
Thanks,
Rod

ih61guy

I have to get that BOOK!

ih61guy

It is a very nice lantern. If I were to let it,i could almost be a shelf queen. Along with it could sit a very nice 242b canadian 7/51.

ih61guy

I was just more or less curious! I have a 6/50. It, has the canadian style vent nut,and external pump cap also. I ave a 242b canadian.

ih61guy

Am I correct,242c was made through 1950?
What month was last one produced?

ih61guy
