These lanterns were produced from 1917 through 1933, but this one has details that point to it being among the early examples.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe air tube is stamped: \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePATENTED MAY 13, 1919\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThere are no other markings on the fount. This lantern does not have the center baffle plate found on later examples. Along with the air-tube stamping, that places it with the earlier production run.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe nickel-plated brass fount shows honest age and wear, including worn plating, surface oxidation, dirt, and grime. It appears solid, with minor dents visible in the photos.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe vent is a little rough, but it appears complete and held together. It also seems to have retained its nickel finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe mica globe is a reproduction. It has a small noticeable mark on one panel, visible in the photos, but no holes. The globe door moves up and down very well.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis lantern requires a separate external pump. Here in the shop, we pressurized the fount and found that it holds pressure. The valve opens easily, and pressure passes through the generator. The mantles shown in the photos indicate that it was run not too long ago, though it was not fired here in our shop.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease see the photos closely for the complete condition and appearance. This is a neat early Coleman for someone who appreciates the first years of the Quick-Lite line.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Coleman Parts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52013310345462,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/3675\/8774\/files\/IMG_9690.png?v=1792617664","url":"https:\/\/oldcolemanparts.com\/products\/early-used-coleman-air-o-lantern-model-ql-ql327","provider":"Old Coleman Parts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
