Coleman yellow lantern series#

Coleman made the F series lanterns for several more months after making this 220H.Ĭoleman in Wichita, Kansas made Model 72215 (left) and 72241 (right) for Sears Roebuck and Co.

This early 220H lantern, in Kameron Bissell’s collection, has the basic differences from an F that are found in all H series lanterns including the offset fuel valve and burner tube fastened to the frame but still has the appearance of the F including the stamped, ribbed base rest. This lantern, in Mike Strang’s collection, is dated January ’71.Ĭoleman started making the 220H by June, 1972, as seen here. On/By January 1971, they changed the position of the lighting holes in the frame base plate and removed the Sunshine logo stamping on the bottom. Coleman continued to make the 220F and 228F after briefly making the 220G.
