Coleman 200A single mantle lantern

Nice old fisherman's lantern. A few days of fiddling and praying got this old boy running again. Burns bright with a familiar hiss. Plenty of scars from rough weather, long nights on the river and the usual bouncing around in a  truck bed on the way home. These old "Reds" are favorites because they are reliable,burn brightly, aren't too heavy to carry around on the river bank and can be converted to burn kerosene if need be.
