1951-53...price depends on shape and how bad you want one. Doug

From a collectors standpoint - i get the "what's it worth question" plenty of times - And my Response is: "I guess the decision is yours to make - If you want to know what it's worth - That's also up to you. "

Worth is only in the eyes of the seller and buyer. Worth is also determined by the year, scarcity, and condition. Back in the 60's, Coleman made a lantern out of cheap stamped steel parts - they were hideous (at the time) - no one wanted one - and those who had one, scraped theirs when it failed - NOW guess what happens to be one of the most sought after coleman lanterns? You might want to take a look at Ebay for something similar and see what they went for.

Value is hard to call, I haven't paid over $10 for any of mine. But a new 3 burner is well over a hundred bucks.

The 3 burners are kewl old beasts.
