Today is my birthday. I was born in 1953. My buddy Timm Getts located a 1953 200A black band. He told me about and said "Go get it". Well I did and its about as perfect as it gets. 62 years and ten months old (2-53). It has fuel in and it pumps up and holds pressure. I opened the valve and it sounds good. I am going to put some fresh fuel in it, put a mantle on it and see if it will light. The ventilator is perfect, the globe is perfect, the black band frame rest is perfect, the font has one very small paint chip. The decal is showing its age but is intact. I am not going to refinish this one. I am just going to polish the font with some polishing compound and call it good.
Timm and I met thru bow hunter education. I taught his bow hunter ed class. We became friends. He became a bow hunter ed instructor and somewhere along the way we found out we both collected old Coleman stuff.
Thanks Timm !! This is a great birthday present !!

that should be pretty simple to fix. It's a good looking lantern.
