To accommodate the pump, which is mounted into the center of the fount, the fuel pickup tube had to swivel for removal . Note the air tube along the left side of the fuel pickup tube, which is necessary for the Instant Lite feature. The first production of instant lighting lanterns was in March, 1928 when Coleman made the L220 and L228 (above- missing mica globe).
If you have an older lantern that seems to blow holes through new mantles, check these screens. This past fall my buddy Phil got me interested in Coleman’s classic lanterns. We were hanging around drinking coffee on a chilly November coleman cabin tent day at Old Mill Stream Campground in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania when he asked a fateful question. Would I want to go with him to the Coleman outlet store nearby? He needed a new globe for one of his gas powered lanterns.
Besides increasing your light by focusing your output, it also cuts down on “light pollution” by blocking the light that would normally be blazing into your neighbors camp site. Please exercise caution when using lanterns around small children. The best spot for a lantern if you have small campers in your party is on a hanger out of reach. The flaming you get when first lighting is because the fuel feed tube is cold and feeding liquid aerosolized fuel into your burners. Within a few seconds, this tube heats up, vaporizing the fuel as it travels to the burners and giving you a cleaner burn.

Other L427 pump handles have a nearly flat top or a top with rounded lobes. Around late ’64 Canada switched from green to red logo but used the same bold print design as the prior couple of years. Also seen on USA 236 and 237 in the late ’60s. After early ’69 they moved to the red parallelogram logo already in use by USA and discontinued the sunshine. Nifty collectible key fob flashlights that look just like miniature coleman lanterns.
It’s a largely obsolete measurement of light output. It’s still used sometimes by manufacturers to measure light intensity in the center of a flashlight beam. Never tighten your lantern’s ball nut down on the porcelain ventilator. The ventilator needs to flex a little bit during heating / cooling cycles.

If you know you’ll be using your lantern while hiking, camping or traveling, you’ll want to choose a Coleman model that isn’t too large or heavy. There are multiple sizes available and some portable lanterns are even collapsible, making storage a breeze. I’d always wanted a Coleman Duel Fuel Lantern but could never justify coughing up close to $100 to buy a new one. I have a propane lantern that I received as a spiff from work a few years ago. It works like a champ but we just don’t use it that often.
This lantern, in Ron Lenfield’s collection, includes the box and accessories. Although this lantern has a later style baffle plate, the usual baffle plate in this version is as in the lower image. Not sure what got into me but had a flashback to younger years camping and the hiss these things make. A little cleaning and a bit of fuel and off we go. I’m now able to expose my kids to this technology. Too many nannies saying it’s unsafe, etc etc. but as it is we have enjoyed playing with it and will continue to do so until the kids loose interest.
