I would. You can find them cheaper…but looks like a very nice one!

 

[scrapdaddy]

I've got a couple and never use them.

 

[John McVicker]

For me anyway…not actually using the Coleman stuff I buy/fix is not the point.

I have one or two and that's it. Lanterns and stoves are another story.

I had a few extras of these and got wacky…
Kerosene fueled…I’ve never timed how long a full tank will run…say!
That’s an idea!

Here's my minor contribution. Lamp has been in the family for a while. I also have the plastic case for it.

Growing up with my GP on the island they use kerosene lamps (Petromax) and I do remember they make a certain noise when burning. It brings back good memories of my childhood reason why I would rather use my Coleman lamp during camping than a super bright LED lamp.

It looks exactly like this unit, My GP just call it Petromax which at that time didn't know it was the brand name.

About Same, but I think the Oil Burners get Hotter.
Fuel a lot less Explosive but harder to Ignite. Mine uses a Cup on Generator that is filled with Denatured Alcohol to Prime the Generator.

I picked up a red 200a finally. 1975 date. I think it needs a new gasket on the pump/primer rod. I thought $50 seemed ok. It had a beat-up box and its documents.

$50 is really high unless it's in really good shape. Most I have ever paid is $25, and I've bought almost new ones for $5.

I never really cared what Ebay prices were. A seller can ask a million bucks for anything, doesn't mean people will pay it. I don't collect as an investment, I collect because I enjoy the use and the utility of Coleman appliances. I've run across sellers asking ridiculous prices for lanterns, and they always say something of this sort "on ebay, bla bla bla, I can sell this for, bla bla bla". Ok, well, haha, go sell it there then, because I'm not paying that. And then I walk away. It's not hard to walk away, but a lot of people have a hard time doing it. Same goes for walking away when buying Toyota's, houses, guns, ammo. Lots of other people have way more money than me, but I know what makes financial sense for me, and I only need to win occasionally.

I love FleaBay.
Both for Selling and Buying.
Nearly Unlimited Audience.
Nearly anything you can think of at sometimes Wild Prices.
It's never a Rip off as you can Return Anything if not as Listed.
I have over 2,000 Transactions and maybe a Handful of Returns. They are so Insignificant I do not remember them.

It's Perfect for Hard to Find Cruiser Parts ie Interior.

Sold my 80 Series Center Console ($100) on there when I got a Dometic Fridge Console (ebay $300) to replace Original.
Was Nothing to me, but was extra special to the guy looking for a Gray console.
