This Coleman parts rack dates to circa 1960.
It was used in a former sports shop on the Gulf Coast.
Several of the jars still have parts in them.
The Coleman logo at the top is silk-screened.

Kamp-Site Products Co., Oklahoma City, Oklahoma,

made this #101 Kamp Kan that will hold a 200A lantern.

The Kamp Kan is a little larger than Coleman's Handy Pail

from the 1930's that was made for 242 series lanterns.

This Kamp Kan, in Dwayne Hanson's collection,

came with newspaper padding dated Jan. 14, 1963.

Two months before this 228E was made Coleman

changed several parts including the now ribbed collar

that is usually associated with the 220F & 228F

that followed several months later.

Some collectors refer to these later 220E & 228E lanterns as transitional

This lantern, dated Jan. 1963, is in John Stendahl's collection.

Coleman made these 3 models for Sears in July (left) and May (center and right), '64.
Model 476.74550 (left) is a single mantle lantern comparable to Coleman 200A.
Model 476.74060 (center) is comparable to Coleman 220E,
while Model 476.74070 (right) is comparable to Coleman 228E
from the same period.
The founts on the latter two mantle models are shorter than the comparable Coleman models.

This model is usually referred to as the mil(itary) spec(ification) lantern.
Coleman had the contract to build this model for the military in 1965.
The lantern features a four quadrant globe,
an aluminum generator that feeds the mantle from above,
and a parts well in the fount.
This lantern is in Doug Davis's collection.

These Coleman lanterns were manufactured for Sears and carry the Ted Williams signature.
A modified model 228 but comparable to a model 202
in that it has a stainless steel globe cage and bail and a nickel plated brass fount.
The lantern on the left is dated Nov. '65 and is in Fred Kuntz's collection.
The lantern on the right is dated Nov. '67.

This is the complete set of 1966-67 Sears lanterns, made by Coleman.
The models on the left and center are two mantle
while the one on the right is the single mantle model.
These are in Dwayne Hanson's collection.

Two of the most common US Coleman models are the 220F (left) and 228F (right).
They can be readily identified by the horizontal ribs on the globe rest
and the 5 rectangular vent holes.
The 220F is date stamped Nov. '63, the first month this model was produced,
and the 228F is date stamped Feb. '66.

This 220F looks like a normal lantern (upper image)

and is correctly identified on the collar,

but the bottom stamping identifies it as a 220G.

The date stamping on this lantern, in Kurt Kuiper's collection,

is September 1969.

Please contact me if you have a 220 or 228 made in 9 69.

Coleman in Wichita, Kansas made Model 72215 (left) and 72241 (right)
for Sears Roebuck and Co.
These single mantled lantern models are dated July, 1971 (left) and January, 1972 (right).
They have the low profile fount seen on other Coleman lantern
models for Sears from this period.

These two Coleman models for Sears, Model 72217 (left) and 72243 (right),

are date stamped March 1971 and June 1972 respectively.

They are comparable to Coleman 228 models,

but have larger founts and tapered globes as Coleman used on Model 275.

The globes on these are replacements; the original globes were frosted as on the two above.

The lantern on the right is in Scott Wickham's collection.

Coleman in Wichita made this Model 237A lantern

which is date stamped Jan. 1973.

This lantern, in Tim Treutler's collection,

is a 500 cp kerosene fueled model

as were the earlier 237 and 237B versions.

Three Coleman lantern models were made for sale by the Gold Bond trading stamps company:

200A dated Nov. 1971 (left), 228F dated Jan. 1972 (center), and 228H dated Dec. 1973 (right).
The 200A and 228H lanterns are in Craig Seabrook's collection;

the images were taken by Fred Kuntz.

The 228F lantern (new image) is in Tim Treutler's collection.

Models 220H (left & center) & 228H (right) (there were no "G" versions in the series)

were made for a couple of years in the mid 1970's - here May 1973 and Dec. 1973 respectively.

The tip cleaner casting is part of the fuel valve casting in the "H" version

and the tip cleaner lever is opposite the fuel valve.

Model 220H is fitted with an optional Coleman reflector, 220-703,

from this period and is attached to the frame at an upright opposite the fuel valve.

The last two lantern models that Coleman made for Sears

were 72325 (left) and 72325-1 (right).

These varied from concurrently produced Coleman 220 models

by using the 275 founts and different collars.

Model 72325 is date stamped Feb. 1974 and 72325-1 is date stamped Mar. 1976.

Coleman in Wichita made the 220J (left) and 228J (right)

(there were no "I" versions in the series) for about 5 years in the mid to late 70's.

Compared to the "H" versions above, the "J" versions

have the burner made from two pieces of pressed steel, rather than a casting.

The 220J has an optional plastic parts storage under the fount

and is date stamped Apr. 1976; the 228J is date stamped July 1978.

Coleman in Wichita made several export models in the mid 1970's.

This Model 231 is a kerosene fueled lantern

in Bob Fladung's collection.

It is date stamped Jan. 1976.

This model was also made with a green fount and green enamel ventilator.

Coleman made the Model 206 kerosene lantern for the Philippine market
as the Model 249's in that country needed to be replaced.
This 550 cp lantern is dated May '79 is in Mike Bullis's collection.
A dropper to put kerosene (not alcohol) in the preheater is held in an opening
in the back of the lantern (the curved tube of the dropper is missing).

Pablo Vega was preheating his red fount version of this model,

dated April, '80, when he took this image.

Coleman in Wichita, Kansas, made Model 275
from 1976-79 (above) and 275A from 1980-83.
Model 275 was the first US made Coleman lantern to use a Schrader valve for fuel control
but still used a wire rod in the fuel air tube in the fount (first image below);
Model 275A eliminated the wire rod and simplified the lighting to an off-on only valve (second image below) (Nathan Schum).
This lantern, in Herman Mulder's collection, is dated August '78.

These fuel line parts are from a 275, dated Dec. 1976.
 The valve stem (1) only rotates through a 180º arc due to part 2
which fits over the valve stem body (3) and includes Off, Light, and On positions.
The eccentric block (4) moves up and down to open and close the
Schrader valve (5) allowing fuel to flow up from the fount through the fuel/air tube (6)
as well as raise the pricker wire in the generator (not shown) when the valve is partially open.
The fuel air tube wire is reduced in diameter near the bottom (barely visible here)
to allow varying amounts of fuel past according to the valve's position.

These fuel line parts are from a 275A, dated Jan. 1983.
 The valve stem (1) only rotates through a 180º arc due to part 2
which rests in a channel in the bottom of the valve stem body (3).
Note the material reduction in part 2 compared to the mechanism for Model 275 above.
Model 275A only has Off and On positions and has a
"...a very delicate balance in fume (cold starting/lighting) and liquid fuel vapourisation.
This is done by means of a carefully machined orifice at the bottom of the fuel and air tube..." (Nathan Schum).

Both of these Coleman Model 201 lanterns are dated September, 1978.
The one on the right is marked  with the first letter for army in Hebrew.
The markings are typical for the Israeli Defense Force (IDF).
These lanterns are in Doron Papo's collection.
