Coleman 639
Would RecommendI’ve owned a few of the 639’s in the past but took this new one and retrofitted it to my own liking, still great lanterns

Preheating is essential. The copper tubing needs more curvature. The location and size of your frame holes needs improvement. Large kitchen matches are not available. My 237 from 1958 burns brighter and is a better lantern.

Flooding kerosene lantern
Would RecommendI tested out my new Coleman kerosene lantern on a recent camping trip. After following the lighting instructions twice, the lantern seemed to be "flooding". Upon closer inspection I discovered the burner tube assembly was loose inside the burner frame.

I hope to resolve this issue and I look forward to using my keros...
