COLEMAN LANTERN CASE SERIES

COLEMAN LANTERN CASE SERIES

The Col-Max series of Coleman lanterns was first developed in the late Depression years in the U.S. This lantern has never been lit and comes with all of its original packaging, which is in great condition. The fount is nickel-plated brass, but models in 1951 were painted green instead. This twin-mantle 220D lantern is dated B1950, which means it was made in the second half of that year. The 200A is a common single-mantle lantern all five of our Christmas lanterns are dated various months of 1951. The main distinguishment of the two is that the 200A, pictured here, has a Coleman decal on its fount the most significant change is that the fount of the 200A was steel as opposed to brass. This aesthetic led to the nickname 'Christmas Lantern' given by its collectors. The final 200 models and early 200As both had this same color scheme - a red ventilator top with a green-painted fount. Selling from 1951 to 1983, this unit shipped in the millions. The 200A was the immediate follower to Coleman's 200 lantern, and was one of the most successful in the industry. In the US, this was the forerunner to Coleman's longest-lasting single-mantle lantern: the 200A. The American version depicted here, dated December 1950, has a nickel-plated fount and a painted red top. made the original 200 for a brief time in 1950 and early 1951, while Coleman Canada made this particular model for a longer period of time, though its colour scheme was different.
