There were coleman wrenches as well. Not sure how many different ones. I have one and will try and dig it out and take a picture tomorrow.

Chopper:  That 60# will fit in a milk crate!!!  LOL My VW Vanagon(when it's healthy) will haul many cubic feet of stuff. once took out the front passenger seat and hauled an 11' canoe inside and the rear hatch closed completely.  Had 6 kayaks inside it(subby rodeo boats, none of them mine BTW!!).

That 'milk crate' takes up a lot of room [see unhappy wife here] when the trunk and back seat are filled with suitcases of 3/4 months worth of clothes, golf clubs, a large foam wedge[I have to sleep inclined], crock pot, cooler, ect, etc.

Never argue with an idiot, they drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Here is a picture of the coleman wrench. This one is not marked that I can see but have seen others that were. Not sure what these came with but I suspect the tall 2 mantle lamps.

Coleman 'Universal wrench'..came with several different things..

The lamp wrench site (another thing lost and forgotten from the old forum)

(There are, of course, lamps there as well ;)
Just a weathered light rust/WD40 mix patina.

Thanks Rusty! I had missed that site. Looks great.

The latest Coleman lantern find, a January 1959 model from the same building as the Post vise.  The globe is cracked and the fuel tank corroded inside, but otherwise in decent shape.  I gotta quit collecting this stuff!!!

It has"The Sunshine of the Night" as a logo under the Coleman stamping.
