What year?? That is so cool!!

I doubt I'll get anything like that as a belated birthday present...but I'm happy with what I did get!

Nice lantern..and box!! Lucky you!!

Happy belated Birthday!!

Near as I can tell, it's dated around 1920. Haven't found any sort of date stamping on it, not sure it ever had one.

[DragonFire]

OK..I'm ignorant..but might that be the earliest Coleman lantern? Or darn close to it??

That is a gorgeous old lantern. Someone must really love you.
