Thank you Mark for stopping by!!

Great find. I hate those storage compartments on the bottom of those lanterns. I always take those off. They are more of a pain in the butt than useful. Plus they mess up the paint. Love those 220's. Their my favorites.

[@doinsngoins]

Yes they do , I never use them but it's fun to find goodies in them . 😉

[@texaswoc3461]

Wow! What a find!

[@doinsngoins]

Thank you Sir! Do you collect?

[@mollyblevins7417]

I inherited this same kind from grandparents. Cant get the cap off to put kerosene in

[@doinsngoins]

Ok , I can help , however it uses coleman white gas ok , not Kerosene just to start out , take a strip of leather put it in the jaws of your pliers so you dont scratch the fuel cap up . Take it slow , it will come off .

Oh man. This model was bomb proof. Great score. What month of 68 is it. I looked for two years for my birthday lantern 6/68. Found s couple on Ebay but got outbid on them. I finally found an font in really rough shape and built my own from old parts. Turned out like new. Hey do you have a Facebook account? There are some really great Coleman sites on there to help you get a valve on these things. Ebay really runs up the price unless you can find a really rare one.

[@doinsngoins]

Awesome to hear! Thanks , no I'm not on FB MP, been thinking about it but never got serious. Yes I think it is a 68 !

[@doinsngoins]

Not sure how to tell ? Where do I look?

[@BluegrassBushcraft]

On the bottom. Opposite side of where it's stamped 68. Should be a number of the month 1 through 12. Sometimes it may not be stamped very deep or could have a paint drip or rust covering it.

[@doinsngoins]

@@BluegrassBushcraft I will look ! Thanks , never noticed this before thanks

[@doinsngoins]

Robert what year date were you looking for , look like I have a few
