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".
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.

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"

Page's Model 2534 three burner camp 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.

and the instructions are
in English and French.
Please email me if you have more information on this funnel.

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"

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.

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,
