...things must be quiet everywhere. Last year, I found a Coleman Model No. 3 Hot Beam made in 1928, complete and in fairly good condition and very rare. Emailed a guy on a different Coleman site asking him if he ever got one from some posts years ago and never heard from him, offered it to somebody else and never heard from him either. It's time to downsize and get rid of things.

The paint on these Coleman stoves seem to be a little fragile. Someday I plan to disassemble mine and powdercoat it. May change the color to a desert tan.Image

I am working on a Coleman slant from 1928, and just recently resurrected a Coleman 427 from 1924.

Coleman 427 in action:

Also I have been working on some other lanterns over the years, This one is a mixture of several lanterns, and works on Kerosene, nice looking and works great as a table lamp.
