Coleman 5114-C Propane Lantern Posted by: yuandrew
Video duration: 342 seconds A Coleman model 5114-C Propane Lantern my friend, RainJetSprinklers, found in his attic and let me keep. It had some bent parts on it and the wrong globe but I managed to bend them back into shape and found the correct replacement globe.
