the G2G was fun! took a 228 slant and my 237, both great runners! bought a model 152 dual fuel lamp!
friend of mine has started this, painted the tank blue... to really touch it off it needs the vent matched in a shade of blue.

Kero stoves anybody? Bought this one at a gun show of all places years ago. Never heard of a Prince no.8 before. Looks like it copied a Primus VERY closely, even down to the multilingual inscription of "the best stove in the world". Just cleaned the burner out with carb/parts cleaner today, still having carbon issues, but it could be old fuel. Been a good companion for my hunting trips, runs forever on a tank of fuel.

My thinking is that it looks SUPERB, just as it is.
Looks like it has been used for several lifetimes, and just keeps on tickin'.
Occasionally, there are times when "original" is far better than "restored".

The previous owner added them to hang the lantern in multiple directions- they are 90deg. from each other and quite stout.

sweet Canadian 220E!
been doing some wire stripping here and there and have had my 237 kerosene burner and my L228 slant out helping me...
on easter sunday i drug home a 228E id good shape for 10 bucks...and a adjustable with a 220 globe on it also for 10 bucks. Thursday night i had my 200/220 franken lantern out helping me clean the bed of the truck out... sorry no picture of that. yesterday i was tinkering with my L228 slant, its having a air loss issue. replaced cap gasket since it was still on the original and haven't had a chance to fire it.
also tinkered with my 2 lamps, the CQ and the Model 152... both need parts for there respective shade holders, so i put out a couple want to buy ads on the coleman forums hoping i can find the parts i need. while im waiting for lamp parts i may get the 228E scrubbed up.... only crappy part is my shelf's are maxed out.... need another one to hang more lanterns from!!!
