    The 1959 and ?1945? 220's I recently scored, both users and solid runners.
    The '45 has "US" stamped on the bottom,,is it an early "Mil-Spec" ?

    Picked up this cool old fan yesterday for ten big ones!, it's a Signal 1250A from '37-'39 time frame, cleaned up way better than expected and looks much better than in these pics...:) IMAG0254.JPG IMAG0256.JPG

    No kidding?!!? I've seen the BX mentioned over at oldcolemancollectors/oldcolemanparts.
    Yes the pump screws in and it has the green sunrise globe. The vent is pretty rough. Will post more pics later on.
    I almost passed on it because of the 25 dollar price tag,,got it for 22 clams..
    Now to clean it up,,mud daubers inside the collar, wasn't even sure it would fire!

    After thinking about your lantern a little more, it could also be the more common model "C", but I can't remember if the C's were stamped US on the bottom, if it is a C, it should be stamped model C on the collar.....

    Thanks for the input old 040, I'll take a closer look at it later, making ready for 3 12 1/2 shifts at the workhouse, wont' be much fooling around in the garage.
    Maybe slide over to oldcolemancollectors and see what I can read or terry marsh's' site.
    Thanks again.

    Went for a ride yesterday afternoon after work and picked up this user 220K, I just wanted the amber globe out of it, paid $15. for it, was surprised when I got there that they still had the original box for it and a nearly full gallon can of CF that they threw in!, along the way back I grabbed a nice 413F stove I was eyeing up a couple weeks back, I like the towel rack feature on the these and the extendable legs, from what I've read the 413F with legs are kinda tough to come by, this one is still in nice shape as well, the pic of the 413F is not mine, but looks just as nice, I'll get some pics later today.....:) 00S0S_cymNHPE9uat_1200x900.jpg 65_1961-_64_vintage_coleman_413f_stove_22454433.jpg

    The collar is kinda ruff, I'll call it a model C, but it's stamped "US" , and it's a very good runner.
