Nice early Coleman Model 242K Kerosene lantern dated with what appears to be a 1 but hard to read (jan)1935. The 242K was the first kerosene version of the single mantle 242 series. According to what I found online the K model was produced concurrently with the 242 gasoline model during the mid-1930's until the introduction of the 247 model in Canada in 1936. This example has all of the unique features of the 242K including the match hole trapdoor which slides open, the pin through the... pump shaft, slotted pump cap, aluminum pre-heater cup, filler cap hex nut and unembossed double split collar as well as the unique disc or dial type generator control which is normally found on these. Overall a very nice example of a hard to find lantern which could easily be restored into a show stopper. Top hood is very nice and the lantern still retains its original green logo sunshine globe. I have a pile of Coleman lanterns, stoves and irons I will be selling over the coming weeks so check back again. No reserve, shipping will be $35 in North America, or actual if less, Shipping to Japan will be $125 Canadian surface mail or $201 cdn Airmail. other locations overseas ask for quote please.
