The Canadian version of the 220F was not produced in large numbers.

The Canadian version has several differences from the US version above

including the "dot-dash" collar and the ventilator air vents.

This lantern, dated Feb. '71, was in Matt Reid's collection.

His restoration included bead blasting the globe cage and repainting with silver paint,

repainting the fount, and applying a reproduction sticker.

The last month that Coleman Toronto made the CPR

(Canadian Pacific Railway) version of the 247, Model 247R,

kerosene lantern was May, 1970.

This lantern, in Matthew Reid's collection,

was used for a variety of lighting purposes, not mounted in the caboose.

The 247R was replaced by Model 639.


Coleman Toronto made their Model 335 in red in June, 1970
as
this lantern, in Matthew Reid's collection.
This lantern came with the box which is also printed in red,

rather than the usual green for this model.
The globe is marked Coleman, Colex (with the sunshine logo),

No. 4, Made in England.


A common Canadian Coleman model is the 635.

This one is unusual because it has a nickel plated fount

rather than the usual green paint.

The 635 burns white gas and is rated at 500 cp.

This lantern is in George Rocen's collection;

the fount is dated Feb. '72.


Canadian Model 321 Deluxe Quick-Lite was the first Coleman model

to use a Schrader valve (image below - 5 with spring)

to control the fuel/air flow to the generator.

This earliest lantern in the 321 series, date stamped March 1973,

is in Matthew Reid's collection.


When the valve in the above lantern is partially opened (1), the eccentric block (4) is raised

causing the generator orifice to be cleaned; further opening of the valve now pushes the block beneath the eccentric down

from the force of the spring (5) in the Schrader valve that is contained in the fuel air tube (6).

The Schrader valve wire is reduced in diameter near the bottom (not visible here)

to allow varying amounts of fuel past according to the valve's position.

The valve is restricted to a 270 degree turn by (2); the valve body (3) is held in place on the fount by the nut above (5).


Canadian Model 321 Deluxe Easi-Lite lantern with a blue painted fount and blue enameled ventilator

followed the Model 321 Deluxe Quick-Lite in green above.

This Easi Lite version of the 321 lantern is date stamped Jan. 1974

This lantern, in Matthew Reid's collection,

has the same valve assembly as the green Deluxe Quick-Lite Model 321 above.

Model 339 was a 350 cp lantern model

comparable to Model 335 above but kerosene fueled.

This lantern, in Don Colston's collection,

is date stamped January 1975.


 Easi-Lite Coleman Models 621A (left) dated Jan. 1976 and 621B (right) dated Feb. 1978.

These Canadian models have a single mantle, use white gas, and are rated at 500 cp.

The globe on the lantern on the left is a replacement.

The lantern on the right is in Matt Reid's collection.

Possibly a Model 236 built under license from Coleman by a company in Mexico,

this lantern has the remains of a Coleman sticker on the fount (left image)

and directions in Spanish on the direction disk (right).

The brand or company name is iK.

If you have any information on iK or this model, please contact me.

This lantern is in a Coleman museum in Sugarcreek, Ohio.


Herman Mulder bought this Canadian Coleman Model 335

at a car boot sale in his home province of North Holland.

This 350 cp single mantle model is dated Feb. '79.


Canadian Coleman Model 321 - here the B version (left) dated Feb. 1979,
