Old Town Coleman's "Ready to Ship"

Coleman Model L427

Double Mantle Instant-Lite Lantern

Born in May of 1927

Condition: Good

Old girl in pretty good shape for 98 years. She's been through the ringer and has had some work done on it, but carries the bumps and bruises well.

1. The pump cap is so worn that the hole for the pump has enlarged to a point where the pump spring could actually fit through it. I placed a small washer between the cap and the spring to stop this.

2. It came to me with a neoprene pump cup. When I went to change it, I found that the bottom of the pump stem was missing most of the threads to hold the small nut on. It wouldn't work so the pump shaft was replaced with another L427 pump.

3. There is a bit of road rash around the fuel filler hole. I'm not sure what this is all about but it appears that a previous owner took every opportunity to use his pliers / screwdriver to get the cap off.

4. I believe the globe to be original. It has two broken panels, and is missing one of the fasteners. I'm pretty sure Rob Butts would help with this repair.

The pump cup, valve stem packing and filler cap gasket are new. It has a working R55 generator and she runs bright and quiet. I did not send the frame to the bead blast cabinet but rather gave it a good long EvapoRust soak. No rust but the original blackish patina look remains. I like it.

The ventilator has a little chipping, and for some reason most of the shine from the upper portion has gone flat. It is still a solid ventilator, it just doesn't shine like it did in 1927.

Asking price is $125 plus shipping and insurance.
