Coleman 220F , dated 2

Fettled back from destruction. New globe, added a new fuel cap screw, fuel cap gasket, new mantles and a general wiping down. Filled with Coleman fuel and a little bit of Kerosene. Mantles flamed for awhile then settled down to a nice white glow. A good old lantern too good for the scrap heap. Some time in the future I'll most likely strip the paint off the fount and repaint it and the vent in some exotic color. For now I'm enjoying a $2.00 lantern.
