Sweet find! And with a picket fence! That is a great snag on a find in the wild...Bet you could double your money just by selling the globe. Congrats

Re: COLEMAN!
So sounds like it's time to clean the generator tube, and check the burner tube(s) at the mantle connection, and the feed from the base (requires disassembly) for spider webs or "guests".
Here's a decent vid I found on just that subject: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxvg7XgDUCk
