Info on my Coach

[Rudy]

Looking for some expert opinions on this Coach Lantern dated Oct 1973 inside the cap. I tried to get as good of a picture as I could but I apologize that it's not better. The side/top rails and cap are coppery, the tall top and the rest of the base are gold/brass color with the top being taller than most other tops I'm seeing online. The lava seems to be the rare coral color? Coach%20Lantern.jpg I absolutely dig the heck out of this lamp but I'm curious where it falls on the rarity and value scales.

 

Thanks very much!

There are some good details here Rudy - http://oozinggoo.ning.com/page/coach-lantern.  The link to the pdf at the bottom of the page is a must read.

Thanks, Jim. So what I have is a semi-copper with a tall brass top and coral colored lava? It doesn't seem to have any info about tall brass tops or coral lava.

You able to see up into the screw cap on the globe?  There may be a color indication in there.

The only tag I can see is the date tag which reads "OCT 1973" and the ink is in the same pinkish red as the lava.
