Original Listing Description

This very old Coleman USFS (United States Forest Service) lantern was used by our father who was a participant of the CCC Indian Division program on the Klamath Indian Reservation in the Pacific Northwest. USFS is embossed on the fount. Etched also with USIFS KIR 33 on the bottom and side of fount. We believe USIFS KIR stands for United States Indian Forest Service Klamath Indian Reservation. This lantern is being SOLD AS IS since it's been awhile since we have used it. I lightly cleaned the outside and lubricated the pump plunger but do not know if everything works properly. It does show normal signs of wear. It is in great condition considering the age of the lantern and the adventures it has been on over the years. The punch holes around the lantern read C O L E M A N Q U I C K L I T E Lantern has green, orange and red paint on it. I do not see any rust or dents. Made in the USA The Coleman Lamp and Stove (stamped on the bottom). I cannot read most of the stamping on the bottom of the lantern but have included close-up pictures. Can see some of the lettering which appears to be stamped The Sunshine of the Night on the bottom. Approximately 13" tall. We have no idea if parts have been replaced. Comes with one package (two mantles) new unopened Sun Flame nitrol treated rayon mantles. Video is in fast mode as normal speed kept getting rejected. Please pause the video and review the photos and if you have any questions, please ask. Lantern will be packed with globe in-place with foam between all contact points. Lantern will be wrapped in foam, wrapped in bubble wrap and surrounded by peanuts. Hoping for a good journey for this nice collectable. (Condition: Pre-Owned)
