ANTIQUE COLEMAN LQ327 DOUBLE MANTLE LANTERN ~ 1925 ~ NICE ALL ORIGINAL LANTERN

Description

HELLO FOLKS!
HERE WE HAVE THIS NICE ANTIQUE COLEMAN LANTERN THAT IS NEARING 100 YEARS OLD.
COLEMAN MODEL LQ327  QUICK LITE    aka: L327
DATED 5 . 5    (MAY 1925)
"THE SUNSHINE OF THE NIGHT"
A DOUBLE MANTLE LANTERN THAT
IS IN FINE CONDITION AND
STILL WORKING.
PLEASE VIEW ALL PICTURES, FOR THEY ARE PART OF MY DESCRIPTION AND HELP ME WITH MY ACCURACY WITH THIS LISTING.
FOUND AT AN ESTATE SALE HERE IN WISCONSIN A FEW WEEKS AGO.
IT WAS WELL CARED FOR
ALL THESE YEARS.
IT IS ALL ORIGINAL,
WITH THE ORIGINAL MICA SHADE.
THE LANTERN IS STILL SHINY WITH
ONLY ONE SMALL DENT
ON THE TANK NEAR THE VALVE CONTROL KNOB,  ABOUT 1/8 IN DIAMETER
THE MICA SHADE HAS NO HOLES
.  BUT SURFACE RUST ON THE SHADE FRAME SHOULD BE NOTED.
LIGHT SCRATCHES CONSISTENT WITH AGE SHOULD BE EXPECTED. BUT NOT BAD AND SHOULD POLISH OUT.
THERE WAS STILL FUEL IN THE TANK WHEN I GOT IT HOME.  MANTLES WERE STILL ATTACHED AND PRESSURE WAS STILL INSIDE THE TANK.
SO I TOOK IT OUTSIDE AND PRE-HEATED UP THE GENERATOR WITH A GRILL LIGHTER. IN A FEW SECONDS THE MANTLES BEGAN TO BURN AND
IT LIT RIGHT UP.
I WILL SUPPLY 2 NEW MANTLES
BECAUSE THESE PROBABLY WILL NOT MAKE THE JOURNEY. THERE IS NO PUMP.  THE GLOBE WILL BE BOXED IN A SEPERATE BOX FOR PROTECTION IN TRANSIT.   FUEL IN TANK WILL BE REMOVED BEFOR SHIPPING.
WORKING  COLEMAN QUICK-LITE LQ327 LANTERN
BORN IN MAY 1925
IT WILL DISPLAY NICE IN YOUR HOME OR BUSINESS.
OR IT WOULD MAKE A NICE ADDITION TO A COLLECTION.
IF YOU MAKE THIS ONE YOURS ....YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED.
...GUARANTEED...
.....THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAVE A GREAT DAY!
:)
