The fount decal identified it as CLX but the smaller print on the collar identified it as Model 290. The CL1 is dated Sept ’84 the CL2, in Doron Papo’s collection, is dated Mar ’84.Ĭoleman also introduced a larger lantern with a more robust generator (middle image) and presumably more candlepower in 1983. The fuel-air delivery system in these models is the same as in Model CLX/290 below. These models were among the first with an adjustable light the tip cleaner is in the orifice in the off position of the valve rotation. The decal on the side of the fount prominently identified them as CL1 and CL2, perhaps to call attention to their new design, but the smaller print on the collar identified them as 286 and 288. None of the parts are identical by the end of production although the ball nut and globe are interchangeable between the two models.Ĭoleman single mantle CL1 (left) and double mantle CL2 (right) were first manufactured in 1983, replacing the 200A and 220K models. The 220K dated June 1983 disassembled can be compared here to the first in the series to be produced in March 1928, 55 1/3rd years earlier. Production of the 228 series ended several years earlier. ![]() The last of the 220 series lanterns was made in June, 1983 (above) when Coleman ended production of the 220K. 1980 and are in Mark Peterson’s collection.
