The lantern is in great shape for a 92 year old lantern... Vent and fount are quite nice with very little nickel loss as you can see in the pics. I bought this from a fellow collector, I believe he media blasted the frame as it looks great. The tank is clean inside and there are no leaks or stress cracks... The only issue is the check valve is stuck...
The lantern pumps up and holds pressure but the little BB in the valve doesn't shut the check valve... You have to tighten the pump stem down for that. The lantern comes with a Fred Kuntz reproduction mica globe. This is a beautiful old Coleman lantern and would make a fine addition to any collection.
