I'll probably attempt to restore it and get it working. Why not? Not with that cracked fount. But it still might be worth something to a collector for parts.

If I found something like that my wife would be saying it is junk and I need to throw it out. I would keep it and every time the subject came up she would roll her eyes. Good find.

screwed the pooch on that one. It's a burg which were only produced a few months, late 1961 to early 1962. In good, original condition they're worth several hundred dollars. Kept all the parts and didn't drill any holes. Thank goodness, I did a lantern search and came across this thread, scrolling and saw that and was like "what in the world", its worth a couple. I did the same though with an old common 220 double mantle, ran the wires through the intake tube and out each burner for two candlelights, rigged the valve wheel to be the on/off dimmer switch. These lanterns and stoves are addictive, been getting into them the past year or so.

Buddy picked me up an old big hat, it was rougher in hand than the pics he initially sent me. I went crazy with it. ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/inw2esM.png)

Back when we canned garden produce every summer, my gasoline Coleman camp stove would process pressure canners almost twice as fast as the one my wife was running on the Propane kitchen stove. I guess the gasoline burned hotter than Propane.

I’ve picked up 1/2 dozen of the older green ones at estate sales. Never pay more that 10-15$ for them. That’s my cut off.
Going to borrow Higgz idea and hang them in my sunroom if I can round up a few more

I have a red single burner out in the garage, original, not being used (it has been, for power outages, and once to dress out a buddy's moose in the night.)
I have at least 3 green double mantles that came with the remote cabin I bought in 1975. They are still in use there.

I got a red one for Christmas when I was 10 or 11, used that thing countless hours camping. Whenever my sons calls and ask for help blood trailing a deer after dark I always bring the old girl along

I have a big hat from the days when I was a YMCA camp counselor. Two electrified models provide lighting in my gun room.

Wish I could get some of the old mantles with thorium. I think the India-made green top mantles that are sold by that Coleman parts site listed above contain thorium but I can't say for sure. I bought some India manufactured thorium ones about 10 years ago but I don't remember the vendor. They make great check sources.
