Not really sure what the combination is, but had no desire to fork out $119.99 on a 220E, in this condition, to find out.

Not sure who needed more illegal drugs, the seller for his asking price, or a buyer, that would pay it?

Spotted in an antique store today:

Couldn't find the combination!

Cerakote has a variety of products. They vary as far as heat resistance is concerned. The 2000 degree air dry colors do an exceptional job of standing up to the heat in a vent. Lower temps, not so well. The lower temp colors, and there are many, look good if they are hit with a clear coat after the ...

Good thread! My experience with new ones. The green tip newer matches that are strike on box only, suck! Half won't light when struck on box, the striking surface will be worn out before the box is empty and, half of the matches that do light, as they light, the head snaps off a flies away possibly ...

Oh, yes!

Part of the reason we have these. Please attend, if you can!

This is the reason, at our gatherings, we will advertise that we will show you how to get your old GPA items working again and we never offer to repair one.

That's a beauty, Jim!

Thinking more about this, perhaps a soldier knew SMPs aren't as good as Coleman, put the MIK sticker on the vent. Granted, this lantern looks like it was used once but wouldn't the sticker have burned off?

Murff

Sometime in the 1990s, I found a nice 200A in the original box for $5.00. I decided someday I would learn to fix it. The internet came along and I found a site that had some repair info. That site clsed down but suggested Frank Bebb's Old Town Yucca site. That is where I learned a lot of stuff. All ...

Working on an SMP Mil-Spec and spotted this:

Closer look:

Wonder what other parts were outsourced?

Looks like the poor 290 tried to self destruct!

Why this one and not a MIC globe??

Awesome range and paperwork!

Working on painted 242Cs today. Noticed this one dated 12 and a 4 had no Coleman logo stamp on it. Also noticed the "hex" bung.

Assuming this is an early 242C? December of 1944?

That's a nice haul!

The one in the background is finished and complete as is it's brother, not in the picture. They just look cool naked and burning. And, sorry!

There have been a couple of threads that have gotten off topic and, to be blunt, violated the CCF Guidelines regarding personal views.

One more vent tip: DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BALL NUT AS TIGHT AS YOU CAN!!! It doesn't even need to make contact witht the vent. Some chips are caused by the metal of the vent expanding. As stated above, the vents are made of two pieces of metal welded together and then covered in porcelain enamel. If you...

That is a great collection! I do appreciate that you have the will power to not get 10 of the same lanterns. I have made that error with many now 220s and 200As mostly.

I am partly responsible for some using Pirate Ship as I have also had nothing but great experiences with them.
