NOTE: Please read all of the text in the description!

 

 When we get old lanterns, we can either try to restore them, use them for parts donors or, if pretty beat up looking, do some custom work. The paint on the fount of this lantern, and the porcelain on the vent, were in such poor condition, we decided to have all parts media blasted and Custom Mix Porsche Gray 2000 Degree Cerakote applied. We don't know if you agree, but we think it looks fantastic!

Coleman produced the Model 200/200A lantern from 1950 to 1983 The one in this auction was originally made in June of 1971. Cerakote is a high heat ceramic coating used primarily by hot rodders to give their exhaust headers a custom look. The burner frame, ball stud bracket and collar have also been treated with Porsche Gray Cerakote. 

All parts have been cleaned or replaced as needed on this 200A. When this 200A was reassembled, it received a new fuel cap gasket and a new custom color Coleman logo. The lantern does retain a red letter Pyrex globe. The pump leather has been oiled. The lantern has been fueled. It pumps up and holds pressure. When the valve wheel is opened, there is the familiar hiss and gurgle of a working lantern! The fount does have a small dent below, and to the right of the pump tube.

Please note: As hard as we try to get the check valve cleaned up, they will sometimes still leak unless the valve stem is closed, as Coleman literature states.

 We hope you find this lantern's gray color as appealing as we do! 

Oh, yes! It has been tested for several hours and it works great!

The globe is bubble wrapped and then placed in a coffee can or separate carton before being placed in the shipping carton. All other pieces are bubble wrapped and all voids are packed with suitable light weight material so that all parts are immobilized inside the shipping carton.

Fuel will be emptied from all lanterns & stove before shipping!

We use UPS Ground or USPS for the majority of our domestic shipping. International shipping is via Priority Mail International.

Please feel free to email us for a shipping estimate. We try to ship your item within 24 hours of received payment.

NOTE: Since we do use PayPal and eBay shipping, it is impossible for us to change the final price of an auctioned item. We are sorry, but we are unable to falsify any final sales price to avoid tariffs or other fees.

We will also attempt to find a less expensive shipping alternative when possible.
