This is a Coleman Model P Chandelier with an Air-O-Lite font and
is quoted from George Rocen's collection with his permission.
He supposes this is the way this lamp came from the factory because it has larger fittings on
top of the font to accomodate the burner assembly whereas the Air-O-Lite lamp had small
fittings.
Thanks George.

This is a Coleman pendant lamp and is quoted from Vic Tipman's collection with
his permission.
The comment below is from Vic.
Originally, it had a tank that hung upside down, and the lamp was suspended from the ceiling.
It was not a really good lamp, I assume that it was gravity fed, so an enterprising
salesman has adapted this one with the Model 228 tank, which is dated 1935.
It is a little scarce, I know of another one in Victoria.
Thanks Vic.

Coleman table lamp with #329 Monax glass shade and is quoted
from Don Bursill's collection with his permission.
Judging from the fact that it has a built in pump, the model number should be 118B. It was being used until a few years ago on a farm about 60kms
from Adelaide, South Australia.
Nice hunting. Thanks Don.

Please note that Model 153 needs separate pump.
