1972 dual mantle 220F for museum demo

Used my dad's (RIP) old 1972 220F to demonstrate how to fuel and light a vintage gas pressure lantern at a local "family campout" that drew over 500 visitors (to the campout, not the demo; we had about 20 folks watching). I walked the small crowd through the process and function, but when asked by a 5-year-old how the "things" (mantles) get so bright, I paused and then said, authoritatively... "magic".

Coleman 220F, 10/72 back in business

Back in business. Ready for ascension into the new Museum of Camping. Coleman 220F 10/72. A little younger than I am. Needed a bit of valve and pump work; some fresh mantles and a shine. But otherwise as good as new. Welcome. — Jeff Stanger, Museum of Camping (and thanks to oldcolemanparts.com for some old Coleman parts!)
