Time for an old Coleman Stove / Lantern thread - post yours

Old fuel stoves and lanterns are great. I have a newer Coleman dual-fuel I keep just in case I lose power in the winter up here again. Little sucker puts out 10,000 BTU which is almost enough to use as an emergency heater in my apartment.

if I never see another mantle again it will be too soon

Here is a picture of a couple of old lanterns I got going back in the winter. Smelling that kerosene burning really brought back memories of fishing on a creek bank with my dad.



The one on the left is burning Coleman fuel and the other is kerosene.

Had two of these in my house when I moved in. One is February 1969 and the other is January 1971:







Both still work

Awesome pictures.

I love the old Coleman lanterns and stoves. When we cleaned my grandfathers' shed a couple years ago I found an old 1954 Sears lantern. It was blue. Got it working good then broke the glass case.

Also inherited an old 2 burner coleman stove. Still use it every time we go camping.

I love the smell of the kerosene lanterns.

Brings back tons of memories camping/hunting with my dad and grandfather.

I ddn't know there was this much interest in old Coleman stoves and lanterns. I was cleaning out my garage several weeks ago and placed a 1960's era two burner and lantern on the street. Someone picked them up before the trash man came the next morning. Hope it was another OBER!

You guys with all of those Dusty old lanterns need to clean them up and see what you have.

New age stove, love it!
The lantern is a 242B model, mid 30's.
