Coleman Lantern

[mojjax]

I got this for $10.00 last weekend . It's never been used . I think it's a 1957 or a 1975 . I took the top of it and it has instructions , paperwork , & mantels .

That model was only made between 1952 and 1963 according to this- How to Date your Coleman&#174: Lantern or Stove: Old Town Coleman about 1/3 the way down the page is the date chart. Nice, darn near 60 year old lantern new in the box.

If memory serves me correctly, the date is on the bottom of the tank.
Awesome score for $10.00

Yes. Bottom of tank will have a single digit (month) and then a double digit (year).

Yes , this one has a 7 (July) on the left , and just a 5 on the right . plus there ere blobs of paint runs . I read on a web site that sometimes too much factory paint would obscure the date . Maybe the worker was drinking or was high on fumes

Brings back memories of night fishing with my daddy. He's had one like that. The netting mantels would always disintegrate, my dad would cuss up a storm
