Anyone else "collecting" Coleman 200A\'s ??
I didn't really know that I was until the little lady stated giving me funny looks everytime I came home from the flea market with one...
I really like the 200A since there's only one mantle to deal with and they burn for a long time (2 nights average) on a single tank of fuel. They also put out plenty of light for my taste.
I seem to have great luck stumbling onto these lanterns fairly cheap too. I just picked up a totally "cherry" 200A for $10 with no porcelain chips and it also had an original amber globe. It is dated 8/58. I usually find these larterns as "parts" pieces and pay 3 or $4 and build good ones out of the salvagable parts. After taking apart the pump on my recent buy, I could see that it was used maybe 1 or 2 times and shelved......that is, until Slick showed up.
