The pump seal was made from leather instead of rubber, when you oiled it it would swell and create a good seal to pump up the lantern.
I have purchased about a dozen white gas Coleman stoves at garage sales. I clean them up and give them to friends. I am down to about 3 two burner stoves so I will have to pick up some more before giving more away.
The lod school stoves and lanterns are also good for having people stop by our campsite to talk.
I personally don't like the propane stoves for the reasons listed above.
