Found a old Coleman Lantern

[GeneW]

Wow that looks exactly like the one I bought new in the summer of 1977, including the same case.

I was 8 in 1974. Question for you lantern experts. What is a red single mantle model # and value?

First dibs! A single mantle?

 

[Mr.Glock]

Get a ammo can to store extra parts in. Lol ratty looking lanterns have parts too. A few cases don't hurt.

Whoa! You have toe stock! So what years are the ones with the Green Clam Shell Carry Boxes?

I think I am hooked!

I thought 1974 is old in Lantern years!!

. I’d like to go back to 16 years old! What was you in 74?

I was 16 also, and using carbide lamps to coon hunt.

Model 200 , as far as value, depends on where you find it and what condition it is in.

It's been so long since I looked in them I don't remember what is in there. They are guillotine case's. They have 220's but I don't remember what letter series.
I plan on cleaning the nice ones up and getting them ready for use. Just too many irons in the fire.

And it's no fun reloading it in the dark.

I don’t remember for sure, but we used Wheatlights. Big red battery on a belt. Light on a hard hat! Bringing back memories. We would hunt all night to daylight!

I like the looks of those green cases. Had never seen one.
