This is a Coleman Model L227 and is quoted from Terry Marsh's collection with his permission. The comment below is from Terry.
This is the only Quick-Lite model lantern with a wide ventilator.
The ventilator and ball nut vary on this model; others have four indentations around the outer rim of the ventilator and the ball nut can be wide & washer-shaped.
The generator is a Q99 and the mica globe is a reproduction made by Fred
Kuntz.
This lantern is dated Feb 1929.
Thanks Terry.
