everything on the stove.
The center six-sided hole is for 5/16" nuts.


This 5" long wrench fits nut sizes 15/16, 7/16, 3/8, & 5/16" nuts.
As the 15/16" fuel cap is an unusually large size
that is only found on some AGM lamp and lantern models from the late 20's,
this may be wrench L49 that was sold with those models.
Note that the wrench is stamped LAMPS & LANTERNS.


This unusual paper with foil backing funnel
is meant to be folded as shown in the diagram in the center panel.
Jan Dyke believes the funnel was made in Canada

and the instructions are in English and French.
Jan would like more information on this funnel if you have it.


This wrench came with George Rocen's Model M Coleman lamp.

Coleman made this cleaning needle,

to clean gas tips on early generators
before built-in tip cleaners were designed.
There is a 0.006" wire at each end of this
1  5/16" long shaft.


Coleman made this Q44 wrench
to unscrew the generator tips for cleaning or replacement
on Quick-Lite models.

that was designed to be used on several appliances.

into their kerosene fueled lanterns such as Model 237.
Most of these cans are of unpainted steel.
This can, in Don Colston's collection, is painted and with use directions on both sides.
The bend in the tube allows the user to fill the cup without removing the globe.


Coleman Canada made the No 0 filter funnel on the left and Coleman US made the one on the right.
These aluminum funnels have the blue felt filters
mounted in metal rings of aluminum (left) and copper (right).
The copper-aluminum combination will act as a battery when the felt retains moisture
so the filter corrodes into place. Most US funnels have aluminum rings.
The Canadian funnel has a fine brass screen (not seen) below the felt filter.
