This used to belong to my grandparents, so it's pretty darn old. Anyway, it's a Coleman single mantle lantern. Last night I filled it with fuel, pumped it up, and tried to light it. I got nothing, but fuel was leaking from somewhere on top of the fuel tank, so I'm guessing the seals are bad. The weird thing is that the fuel that leaked out wouldn't ignite either. Maybe I'll pick up a gal of Coleman fuel and try it again.
Plus, there's a little lever on the back of the mechanism........I'm wondering if it's a fuel on/off switch or what it is.
I'll try to get pics tonight. Any input in the meantime?
