Description

Coleman lamp with a silver-colored base. There is a pump on the base and a Coleman logo with an outline of the setting sun, "trademark registered. The sunshine of the night, made in Canada" on the side of the base. On top of the base is a glass chimney, almost round, with a mesh mantle inside. On top again is a double lid, painted red, with a carrying handle of rusted metal. Between the base and the chimney is the starting handle with a red and silver dial on it. The instructions read: "Open 1/2 turn to left and light. After mantle burns bright, open as far as possible". "Made in Canada".
