Darren’s Globe Reference Guide.

The format I document the globes looks like this:
GLOBE~MADE IN GERMANY FOR~LS~GLOBE NO. 290B042~0107
The tilde’s (~) indicate the start of a new line. I used the tilde because other punctuation was used by the spreadsheet and caused formatting problems. I categorized the Coleman parallelograms as SS, LS, and LO. The first character indicates if the line under Coleman is Long or Short. The long lines start under the “C” in Coleman and extend to the right side of the parallelogram. The short line is only under the “oleman” in the Coleman lettering. The second character indicates if the lantern graphic is Solid with the lantern image clear or if it’s an Outline with the lantern also shown as an outline. I also have columns in my spreadsheet indicating if the logo is red or white, the globe size and any notes like if it’s a stripe frosted globe.

This data was started from a list that Coleman has showing globe part numbers and descriptions. As I find more examples I update the list with new part numbers and my observations about the globes. Here is a link to the original Coleman Globe Reference Guide. The original Coleman Globe Reference Guide has many errors about the globes and sizes. It also looks like the last time Coleman updated their list was 2007 or 2008.
