My Coleman 242K Lantern // Just an oddball (and rare) lantern!
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while. I was very lucky to find this rare and complete 242K lantern. This lantern is basically a 242A/B that runs on Kerosene from the factory.
Kerosene has a high flash point when compared to white gas.
Coleman fuel (White Gas) −4 °C (25 °F)
Kerosene Kerosene 38-72 °C (100-162 °F)

You’re welcome. Glad you liked it. Cheers.
Thank you so much. Your videos are top shelf. Do have any of the tiny lanterns like the 222A? I want one for backpacking and I don't know which is the best choice. Thank you have a great weekend.

Thanks for your comments. I did have a couple of 222A lanterns at one time. They are pretty bright and fool proof lanterns. Not sure I would take one back packing but car camping with limited space they are ideal. I traded one for a Milspec and another for a 242b. I really didn’t use them that much. The tank is small and you would have to fill them up 1-2x a night.
Hello, I have a 242B from the 50's. How and where could I get that box? Thanks

I made that box. Please have a look at my Coleman playlist on how I make these boxes. Cheers.
It's pretty common in developing countries where electric ⚡ power is unreliable or non existent. I know because my parents used one when I was little in the Philippines.
Nice Lantern, where can we buy the coleman book?

Sure thing. This is JDM Seiko Model 6R15-02R0 - 480027. 38mm, 23 Jewel Movement 6R15C. Automatic with hand wind capability. The numbers on the face a even. 2, 4,6,8,10, 12 which is a bit oddball. The bracelet is okay. It could be better bit it works just fine. Cheers.
I have a friend who is chemically sensitive and she doesn’t like any smells around her. Would you say that a white gas Coleman lantern has less odor than a kerosene Coleman lantern? Thanks!

Thanks for commenting. Coleman Fuel (aka White gas, Naphtha) is a cleaner burning and has less odor than Kerosene. Kerosene is sooty and it also requires preheating since it has a higher flash point. My wife doesn't like any of my kerosene lanterns and prefers me to not light them up when she is around. In an open air environment my wife is okay with white gas. cheers
Just you make drillog metal dip pen
Very nice and not a very common model, the collar should also have 2 slots, not 1 like a regular 242
