Coleman 152 Lamp - 1947/1948 Functional!
From a wonderful gathering of the South West Coleman Collectors Club near Wellington, Kansas in early June 2016.
This is one of my first "modern" lamps - that is it has a built in pump and a ti cleaner.
Originally sold with a "finial" on top of the mixing chamber to support a parchment or other globe - mine is missing parts and it is running with a spare 220D lantern mixing chamber.
This was one of the most gunked up lanterns EVER! I have cleaned it - but still has a disgusting film of goo on the bottom of the fount - but at least it stays put and lets the coleman fuel do its job - LIGHT!
Working on getting a loaner finial - likely needing to make some parts.
Shown running after cleaning the Fuel/Air tube on Coleman Fuel - although it can run on Kerosene as well.
