Tilley R1A radiant heater. Heat beam would be more accurate. Polished up nice, needs a good long preheat.

Holy sun spots Batman, it's a Tilley! Leaking from several seals and needing a thorough overhaul, it puts out some heat.

Sears 72215 dated 2/71 lit as found, good pump leather, old silk-lite mantle and a tank full of regular unleaded gasoline. This caused wild flare-ups when the valve was fully opened, but after five minutes the generator was hot enough to run on the higher octane fuel without a flicker.

Lenk automatic alcohol blotorch That's the official name. It may be my new favorite to preheat Quick lite generators. Has zero tolerance for breezes.

Experimental, and not entirely unsuccessful generator packing. This is a 1x2 3/4 inch piece of copy paper that was rolled tightly around a generator spring as a filter. It is absorbent, and works as well as the original filter in Rusty, the test lantern. 220E transition model. 1/63.

Fred Kuntz reproduction mica globe with sliding door. This makes preheating a Q99 generator possible, or spinning the cleaning lever (with a small screwdriver) on the later R55 generator.

And even Coleman got the joke and made the bail a useful shape for campers.

      I had the flaming fountain routine from an R55. Sure wasn't expecting that, but since the valve was 90° from the flaming stream coming from the pricker shaft I was able to get it shut off. Little details like that make a big difference. I keep my empty metal waste basket handy. It will fit over most lanterns. Metal trash can will fit over anything, even a lamp with a hanger rod.

      That sounds great!

      Hank Robert's and I go way back to the summer of '79 when I was a homeless bicycle bum peddling North to Ontario when my Coleman 502 stove and other gear was stolen from my camp site in Bay City. I spent most of my remaining cash on a new Hank Robert's mini stove and a hooded wind breaker. I survived for three months in Northern Michigan and Southern Ontario using the Mini Stove as my primary cooking method. It served me well.

      It sat in storage in my bike bags while I traveled the World for 20+ more years in the Marine Corps. I pulled it out after I'd found a pristine new Coleman 502 to replace the stolen one, and found that fuel bottles were no longer available.

      I like compressed fuels and fire, so I found a solution. Actually two solutions, since the original knob got smashed on my Mini Stove. The valve on the adapter hose makes it a simple matter to adjust the flame from simmer to blazing.

      Now I'll have a complete set of wonderful Hank Robert's outdoor appliances. Very nice. Thanks for offering this.

      For sale lamp description:

      Up for sale today is a Vintage Coleman Model 152 Table Lamp. This lamp is date stamped 9 47, or September of 1947. This lamp runs on either Coleman fuel (white gas) or kerosene. It is running on Coleman fuel in the pictures.

      This lamp is still in very nice vintage condition. There are however some chips in the paint though, but there are no dings or dents anywhere on it. The original paint still has a nice shine to it. This lamp has a mica shade on it. So there is no need for an inner glass globe to protect a fabric shade from burning. This mica shade looks amazing on this lamp, especially when it is lit. This lamp is still very clean everywhere. As you can see this lamp is still in perfect working condition. It pumps up and holds its pressure perfectly. The mantles burn extremely bright on this lamp. This lamp is sure to run perfect for you for many years to come.

      Included will be the original hanging rod. So you can use this one as a table lamp, or you can hang it from the ceiling for even more light displacement. I will have to ship this lamp empty due to the shipping regulations, so all you will have to do is add new mantles and some fuel before you light it up. This vintage Coleman Model 152 table lamp is sure to make an excellent addition to your collection.
