This wrench, in Dwayne Hanson's collection, came with an unfired 287 lantern

that was manufactured by the American Gas Machine Co.,

Albert Lea, Minnesota.

The wrench is 4 1/4" long and with nut openings of 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16".

AGM 3020 wrench
American Gas Machine Co., Inc. supplied this 391-280 wrench

with their Model 3020 kerosene lantern.

Unlike the 3470 wrench below, this one was not fastened to the lantern.

It is 4 9/16" long with nut openings of 3/4, 5/8, 9/16, 1/2, 7/16,3/8, and 5/16"

and a tapered 5/16-5/32" slot for generator tips.

This wrench is in Fred Kuntz's collection.

AGM 3470 wrench
American Gas Machine Co. Inc. attached wrenches

to the wing nut in the base of the globe cage of several lantern models.

This wrench was included with a Model 3470 lantern.

It is 2 9/16" in diameter

and fits nut sizes 5/8, 9/16, 1/2, 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16"

& includes a tapered 1/4-1/8" slot for generator tips.


This wrench came with Brien Page's Model 2534 three burner camp stove.

The wrench is 3 1/2" long and fits nut sizes 1/2 & 3/8" at the ends -

everything on the stove.

The center six-sided hole is for 5/16" nuts.


This 5" long wrench fits nut sizes 15/16, 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16" nuts.

As the 15/16" fuel cap is an unusually large size

that is only found on some AGM lamp and lantern models from the late 20's,

this may be wrench L49 that was sold with those models.

Note that the wrench is stamped LAMPS & LANTERNS.


This unusual paper with foil backing funnel

is meant to be folded as shown in the diagram in the center panel.

Jan Dyke believes the funnel was made in Canada

as it came with a 1950's Canadian Coleman 200

and the instructions are in English and French.

Please email me if you have more information on this funnel.


This wrench came with George Rocen's Model M Coleman lamp.

It is 4 7/8" long, and fits nut sizes 13/16, 9/16, 7/16 & 5/16"

plus it has a slot that is 5/32" wide for generator gas tips.


Coleman made this wrench for the CQ lamp model.

It is 4 7/8" long and fits nut sizes 13/16, 19/32, 7/16, and 11/32".

This wrench is in Neil McRae's collection.

Coleman LQ 66 wrench
Coleman made this LQ 66 wrench for their Quick-Lite lamp & lantern models

as well as for comparable models for Sunshine Safety.

The wrench is 4 7/8" long with 13/16, 9/16, 7/16" openings

and a 3/8" diameter hole for hanging.

This wrench is in Bob Willard's collection.


This wrench came with a Coleman L220 lantern dated Aug. 1928.

The instructions with the lantern identify this wrench

as part no. 362-950.

It is 4" long and fits nut sizes 11/16, 7/16, & 2, 5/16"

plus a 5/32" slotted generator tip remover.

This wrench also came with iron Models 4A & 609.


Coleman made this cleaning needle,

part number 104-905,

to clean gas tips on early generators

before built-in tip cleaners were designed.

There is a 0.006" wire at each end of this

1  5/16" long shaft.


Coleman made this Q44 wrench

to unscrew the generator tips for cleaning or replacement

on Quick-Lite models.

The wrench is 1  1/4" long with a 5/32" wide opening.

This burner cleaner tool came with a Coleman 609 iron.

The tool is 3 1/8" long, 1/4" wide, and 0.015" thick.

Coleman recommended pushing the right end of the tool

through subflame burner slots to remove any dirt or carbon

once every three months.


This is a Coleman "Universal Wrench,"

that was designed to be used on several appliances.

In this case it came with a Canadian Model 4A iron.

It is 4 7/8" long and has openings

that are 13/16, 11/16, 9/16, 1/2, 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16"

as well as a tapered opening 1/4-1/8."


Coleman made this combination handle-wrench

for the Model 530 "GI pocket stove."

The handle is 4 3/8" long x 1 2/5" high to hold the

pots into which the stove fits.

The wrench accepts 9/16 & 3/8" nuts.


This eccentric wrench made by Coleman, part no. 220-B-950,

nicely fits the globe base nut on 220/228 lantern models.

This 3 5/8" long wrench, in Neil McRae's collection,

is bent at the base to accept a 9/16" nut.


Coleman supplied cans for pouring preheating alcohol

into their kerosene fueled lanterns such as Model 237.

Most of these cans are of unpainted steel.

This can, in Don Colston's collection, is painted and with use directions on both sides.

The bend in the tube allows the user to fill the cup without removing the globe.


Coleman Canada made the No 0 filter funnel on the left and Coleman US made the one on the right.

These aluminum funnels have the blue felt filters

mounted in metal rings of aluminum (left) and copper (right).

The copper-aluminum combination will act as a battery when the felt retains moisture

so the filter corrodes into place. Most US funnels have aluminum rings.

The Canadian funnel has a fine brass screen (not seen) below the felt filter.

Coleman in Wichita probably made this No. 0 aluminum funnel for Sears.

The funnel came with a Sears stove that Dave McFarlan dated Jan. 1965.


Coleman Part No 413-9401 is a check valve tool

in Bob Hitchcock's collection,

It appears in Coleman Parts Catalog 32A

which is dated Aug. 1955.


Another tool in Bob Hitchcock's collection

is this Coleman modified Utica brand pliers 1300-8.

Coleman ground off the end of the pliers so it could be used

to grip a burner tube for removal

without removing the air tube.


This Coleman wrench is part no. 605-950.

It is 4 1/8" long

and fits nut sizes 11/16, 9/16, 1/2, 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16"

and a slotted generator tip remover

that tapers to 5/32".


This wrench came with Coleman Model 236 and 237 lanterns

made by Coleman in Canada in the late 1960's according to John Garry.
It is 4" long and has 11/16, 9/16, 1/2, 7/16, 3/8, and 5/16" openings

plus a 1/4-1/8" slotted opening,

presumably for generator tips.

This wrench is in Shirley Willard's collection.



Continental-Licht und Apparatebau Gesellschaft m. b. H. Frankfurt am Main, Germany

made Transportable Lamp No. 66 circa 1910.

These two wrenches were supplied with the lamp,

which is in Erik Leger's collection.

The upper wrench is 154.5mm in length and has openings of 24, 13.45, and 8mm.

The lower wrench is 146mm long and has openings of 13 and 8mm.


These two wrenches came with a Continental-Licht Model 4615S

searchlight lantern in Erik Leger's collection.
