    HISTORY
    &
    CONDITION
    :  This Exceptionally Clean beautiful
    38
    year old
    288
    Double Mantle
    lantern was purchased by me at a recent estate along with another
    288A
    from the same estate. BOTH were bought NEW by the original owner.
    The date code:
    11/83
    was the
    FIRST
    year for the Model
    288
    Lantern.
    This lantern displays very nicely. No rust, just a tiny ding on the lower rim and some edge wear. The
    VENTILATOR
    is shiny and solid with a couple of tiny chips,
    NO
    RUST!
    The Burner cage is rust free and shiny as is the rest of the metal & brass hardware.
    The Coleman Globe is a NEW replacement as the original was not there. The generator is used, a
    NEW
    Generator is always recommended for best operational results.  This Lantern pumps up nicely and holds pressure. Air flows freely. All Valves operate smoothly.
    DON'T MISS OUT ON THIS ONE FOR YOUR COLLECTION!
    A very well made beautiful piece of Coleman history ready to be the
    Sunshine
    of The Night
    to Light Up Your Night!
