Spent the day at my folks place, spending time with pops and rummaging thru "stuff" I came across 2 lanterns, one that I had been looking for and the other that I knew where it was but not ready to bring home yet. I did bring home a nice 242C single mantle / nickel tank. Its sitting on my desk in front of me! Its not beat up, the tank has very minimal pitting, some rub marks. Has the original globe, green coleman with the sunset over it., pyrex on the opposite side. It should clean up good. The ventilator has a couple chips and the usual heat discoloration. Doesnt hold pressure but it hasnt had fuel in it in close to 40 years according to dad. It was sitting on a shelf in the basement.
Also found the other old coleman lantern and ID the thing, its a 220D that one was in my grandparents house back in the day..Also found one old stove but it has the wrong tank, I know the tank is there someplace, I just need to find it. Its the old round tank.. That will probably find its way home sometime too..found a couple newer lanterns and one 502 stove, dad has more "stuff" than I realize! lolol The 242 is going in the teardrop cuz it will take up less room than my newer dual fuel..
