Amazing 1946 Sears, Roebuck two mantle camping
lantern in brown; looks new and has never been
used or maybe used once or twice. Typical for
camping lanterns of the 1940's and 1950's, the
lamp shade is very large. From the 1940's to the 1950's to the 1960's to the 1970's, the shades have slowly gotten smaller, which means they do
now throw out or disperse as much light as the
shade size diminished. I grew up with 1950's
camping lanterns so I know what they look like.
This Sears, Roebuck model 742-46 is extremely
heavy, even compared to the 1950's models. This
Sears lantern was probably made for Sears by
Coleman. Totally original, the shade, the base,
the glass, the filling cap, the fuel cleaning switch, the pump, the glass, and the generator.
This even comes with extra vintage mantles and
extra vintage generators! The leather gaskey in
the fuel pump assembly is surely dried up after
over 50 years and will need to be replaced. On
modern camping lanterns, they got cheap and now
use a rubber gasket. This Sears lantern is a humdinger. Almost never seen, and if located, not
is such choice, cherry condition. If you know your camping equipment, you will love this lantern. Satisfaction guaranteed.
