This tilley arrived yesterday 1973 with box and all the trimmings
.I really like this lantern...brighter than the valalux..unless there is something wrong with the Vapalux 
...Brian, thanks for the info....its working much better now but I ordered the service kit for it...The main pump seal seems a little hard and pump leather a little worn...

Hi
White vinegar is very good for removing rust....after a 4/5 hour soak empty tank by pouring vinegar through a fine filter so you can reuse...repeat until happy!

beautiful work on the lantern
It will burn your eyes with the peerless mantle installed
You must wear the welding goggles

Its possibly that the gen is not correct...looks a bit slack on diameter....the interesting thing about your lantern is Coleman Canada made a kerosene version of the 242 ...the 242K...but the needle cleaning assembly was a knob to turn as apposed to the bent wire on the standard 242's...

Hi Frank
The date on the fount would indicate its a 242 or 242A
The 242 was in production form 1932-35
242A from 1935-36
Both models had no air shut off....Pump/valve stem would have been fixed to check valve without the option of screwing the pump clockwise to close valve...as in later models...the primer cup might be able to give us the model....

Can you post some pics of the that other Coleman,,,Stamp/markings on tank...check underneath too...
-
Hey Frank
Nice finds is an understatement
The 242 is possibly a 249 kero...made in Australia by arrangement Coleman company Canada...has it colex marked on the globe???...if so its the original... I'm working on the other coleman lantern.....but I can tell you its a super find..

Yes I am well chuffed with it...a fine sturdy lantern... I couldn't bring myself to fire it up it lookin so purdy inall so I picked up another one that was only fired a couple of times...
..it should arrive next week so looking forward to playing around with....will have to use the primer cup with the Vapalux....any coleman kero I just hit the generator with a little blow torch to do the pre-heating..
Hi Fox a beautifull lantern these are realy well built and so reliable and give a good bright light
The Vapalux/Bialladin are in fact better quality than the Tilley 246B and i personaly prefer the seperate filler cap and pressure release screw than the combined pump systeem Tilley use where you have to remove the pump to fill the tank and loosen it to de pressurise the stove,i am sure you are going to be very satisfied with your new Vapalux

Hallo
Danke....they are a beautiful lantern..
At the moment I am using 70% kerosene, 30% petrol...I find it produces good light and the petrol will help to keep generator clean...Maybe it is not important
Hello Fox,
very nice lamp, i bought my m320 two years ago.
It was brand new, and i became it for a good price.
I use only kerosene, the most people use petrol and kerosene half and half, what do you prefer?
Mfg Holger -
Nice finds Frank....yes get them pics posted asap...they sound nice
