Coleman appliances made in countries other than the US and Canada
are included in the Coleman Canada pages on the website.

Coleman Canada made this
Everbright lamp
for a company by that name in Toronto.
I believe the shade is original.

Coleman Toronto made Model
118 in Oct. 1928
This lamp, in
George Rocen's collection,
has the #324 shade and #903 bug screen.
The paint, not used in
the US,
is a dark brown Colac finish with gold accents.
This Canadian Coleman is
the Silver Duchess.
It was originally sold
with a parchment shade.
It was model 118B in the
US but seems to have been model 118 in Canada.
It is also similar to Model
154, shown in a 1935 Canada parts catalogue,
but that model lacks the
integral pump which this one has.
This one, in Neil McRae's
collection, is dated September, 1934.


Canadian Coleman lamps,
Model 153 (left) dated Sept. 1934
and Model 154 (right) dated
Aug. 1938.
These models lack the integral
pump and have the valve at the base of the handle.
The Model 153 lamp is graced
with a #318 Coleman glass shade
and is in George Rocen's
collection.
The Model 154 lamp is in
Craig Seabrook's collection.
Coleman in Toronto, Canada
sold a steel base/vase
to hold 242 series lanterns
and called the combination Duo-Lite.
This 242 lantern/lamp is
dated February, 1935,
and is in Dick Sellers'
collection.
The post in the ventilator
holds a lamp shade (not shown).
A CQ stamped lamp on the
bottom,
the decal on the side of
this Canadian lamp identifies it as Kerosene Mantle Lamp.
This lamp, in Bernie Rousseau's
collection, is date stamped May 1937.
Neil McRae has determined
that this is Model 169K
based on the listings in
a Canadian Coleman Catalog from 1936.
Compare to the labeled
169K below.

Model 141A (left) dated
June, 1937, & 141 Junior (right) dated March, 1939,
These models are two of
several made in Canada in the 1930's
that had a nickel plated
brass fount.
The lamp on the right is
in George Rocen's collection.


Coleman in Canada finished these Model 128 lamps, named the "Princess,"
in either Coppertone (128C) or Silvertone (128S).
This 300 cp model was
match generating and required an external pump.
It would run on either
kerosene (as shown on the right with the alcohol cup) or white gas (left).
The lamp on the left is dated Sept., 1934 and is in Bob Meyer's collection.
The lamp on the right is dated April,
1938 and is in George Rocen's collection.
Coleman in Toronto, Canada
made this kerosene burning chandelier lamp,
Model 103K, in September,
1939.
Each burner uses an R55
generator.
The original parchment
shades were no longer with the lamp
when Neil McRae got it,
so he added reproduction 321 shades from Craig Seabrook.
Model 169K requires a separate
pump
and had a parchment shade
with an inner globe.
This Canadian model, dated
Nov 1941, was a large fount alternative
to the 168K below; both
use kerosene.
Both of these models have
a mixing tube that contains an inner metal sleeve (lower image),
presumably to help in the
use of kerosene as a fuel.


Coleman of Canada made
these Model 168K lamps, named the "Regal"
in Nov. 1938 (left), Dec.
1942 (center), & May 1946 (right);
this kerosene model requires
an external pump.
The lamp on the left, in
George Rocen's collection, is an earlier version painted black with gold
accents.
The fount on the lamp in
the center is steel due to a shortage of brass during WWII.
The mica globe and parchment
shade on the lamp (right) appear to be original.
Coleman in Toronto made
this Model 157 lamp
which is also date stamped
Jan. 1947 as the above Wichita Model 152s.
Bob Meyer outfitted his
lamp with a fluted parchment Empress shade
that is also from this
period.
Coleman in Toronto made
this Model 156 lamp
which is date stamped Feb.
1949.
Unlike Model 157 above
this match lighting economy model
requires a separate pump.
This lamp is in Herman
Mulder's collection.

These Coleman Canada Model
159Xs are date stamped Dec. 1955 (left) and June 1969 (right).
The X designation in the
model number is for the red painted brass restrictor on the
base of the air tube.
With the restrictor in
place the lamp burns gasoline well and, if removed, it runs
well on kerosene (John Eggert).
The lamp on the left is in
Ed Dennis's collection.
The lamp on the right, in George Rocen's collection,
may have been made near the end of lamp making by Coleman in Canada.
The lamp is unfired and came with the 159X-3382 globe holder and 330 globe
