Vintage 1972 Coleman 220F Lantern - First Use in almost 30 years!

This is VERY interesting timing. I literally JUST got one of these off ebay. 4/72 220F still in box and seller advised has been sitting unused since the mid 1980's. I got the shipping notification no more than a few hours ago and now youtube is recommending this video. Methinks there's shenannigans afoot. lol
That's good lantern you have there. Always nice to see another one brought back into service and ready for many more decades of use.

I bought a NEVER USED NEW IN BOX 10/71 220F195 last week. It's my first lantern. I also have the metal filter funnel with the filter and 2 old paks of Coleman Thorium 21A mantles. I was able to free up the cleanout wire and the fuel adjustment valve. They were frozen due to lack of use. I also oiled the leather pump and checked for pressure leaks. I can't decide if I want to keep it unused or be the first to fire it up. THANKS for this video!

Man that's kool I am a Coleman collector and I love to see the vintage models brought back to life .😊

Brilliant vid. I just got a kerosene 639 dated 1974 still in the box and even a warranty slip with it. I think it was only lit once before as the inside of the chimney is so clean. It’s in perfect condition and lit up first try ! God bless American engineering from Ireland.

[@jrifter1281]

30 years? That's like 30 minutes for a coleman. I've got 4 almost 70 years old. I'm just glad some of yall youngsters are interested in this.

Good job on your video. Just a couple additional steps that could make your experience with the lantern better. You didn’t mention these so I assume you may be unaware.
Rotate the pricker wire loop a few times before you light the lantern to make sure there is no carbon build up in the gas tip of the generator. This can also be done while the lantern is lit. The other item: Once it’s lit and you’ve opened the fuel valve all the way, pump about 10 to 20 more pumps of air into the tank. More pumps means a stronger brighter light output. Experiment with the number of additional pumps to achieve the desired amount of light. I hope this helps.

Important notes + change the Mantle

[@TonyTruth-s9z]

Recently bought one like this. Try some yellow bottle Heet to clean out the tank and generator.
Lighting procedure is to turn the wire choke up then down when you get good fire.
I rehabbed grandpa's coleman stove, not run in over 35 years. Gas had turned to varnish and the valve was plugged. I turned a wood drill bit into a tool to extract the valve.

Really nice. That emits the kind of light you just can get from any other source. Glad the pump was able to be revived as you did, they were built to last by good old American engineering, and of course it still works today. I highly doubt a new made-in-China one would make it 5 years. Truly, it's a disposable society today, and then we wonder why the landfills are filling up.

[@shoewriter5408]

I wonder if you know? I just pulled out an old Coleman marked 220F w/ sunrise on side and a date on the bottom-- 10-61. Can this date be accurate?

[@gbltheolechurch5acrehomestead]

Those are nice! I have over 300 Kerosene Lanterns! Each with a story!

[@silvermine2033]

Nice lantern!

[@2010stoof]

Baby those silk lite mantles. The new ones aren't the same ...
As others said, pump it again after lighting and opening. Those mantles will get really bright

[@chicagovasko]

Good job brother.

[@ScholeyProductions]

Great video bro!

[@prestonhanson501]

I have one of these. My dad gave to me. We use a few times as kids

[@billlaird7332]

Coughlin's makes a plastic funnel specifically for filling lanterns and stoves like the Colemans. Amazon has them for less than $ 2. I remember when Coleman made the same funnel in metal, aluminum if I remember correctly.

[@FinnSweeney-we7lj]

I’ve got one of these from 70, it comes with a metal green case and a clip on the inside to hold the funnel you’re speaking of. All Coleman brand. It’s pretty cool

[@teri8058]

Do they still make these? I remember my gram lighting this up in the camper n sweating my butt off!

[@nortiusraskalius1]

With a "frikking" microfbre cloth - 😆🤣

[@rubendiaz4168]

What type of oil did you use for the oil pump and leather thing?

[@SWMOWoodsman]

Neatsfoot oil is recommended.

[@ticktock2320]

Whats it mean when i got a flame coming outside the mantle. I replaced the mantles and same thing any help is appreciated

[@Reaglesracing44_]

do you still have it!?

[@DaSamNudge]

I do

[@JacobLambeCarGuy]

One important question is do you know JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR PERSONAL LORD AND SAVIOR?
