How a Coleman lantern is made.
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman. And the company he founded would change life in America.
The Coleman lamp was invented by 1909 and the famous lantern in 1914, and since that time more than 60 million of the lanterns have been sold throughout the world. Coleman is the market leader in lanterns and stoves for outdoor recreational use, and it has created a loyal consumer following for a broad range of insulated food and beverage containers, sleeping bags, backpacks, tents, outdoor folding furniture, portable electric lights, and other recreational accessories. The company’s Powermate unit produces portable generators and portable and stationary air compressors. Coleman also makes and markets book bags, backpacks, and related products under the Eastpak and Timberland brand names. Coleman products are sold in more than 100 countries worldwide, with international sales accounting for about one-third of overall revenues. Although its stock is publicly traded, the Coleman Company is controlled by Sunbeam Corporation, which owns 79 percent of the company.
The lantern is still made in Wichita, Kansas

These Coleman's will be around long after Amazon
Earliest camping memories are of dad lighting the coleman lantern and it lighting up the whole area. It always made me feel better. That signature smell and hiss of the lamp working too.
Wow, I worked in a metal stamping plant that had been there since 1902. Lots in common with manufacturing these lanterns. Real men and women made these products. What a wonderful company
Thank you to all the men and women who have worked on the assembly line over the years, I appreciate what you do.
I have 5 of the newer Northstar Propane models that I used when I was an Asst. Scoutmaster and 4 of the old white gas models from 70's to the late 80's. I prefer the white gas models. Probably just nostalgia but I love the smell and the hiss of the old lanterns. My 1972 lantern reminds of camping as a kid with my family and catfishing at night with my grand parents. I'm so glad that Coleman keeps making replacement parts.
I just bought one in an antique store in Ireland. It’s dated 1----73. Made in Canada. By the condition of the lamp I think it was only lit once before. It’s perfect. In the box with spares & instructions. It even has a warranty slip stamped with a number of the person who did the final inspection before shipping. I collect lanterns and have a lot of other makes but if I were going camping then it would be the Coleman. I just know it’s going to work. Thank you Coleman.
Still make in America and made to last unlike most things today thanks coleman keep up your craftmanship it shows in your product!!
I just bought a 45 year old Coleman. I use it every week. Top Quality lantern.
Coleman has always been a sign of quality for us Brazilians, it is a pity that the company here in Brazil leaves much to be desired, coleman USA has no idea of the outdoor potential that is Brazil, this type of flashlight is the consumer dream of many Brazilians passionate about the Outdoor life, Coleman would revise its concepts and send more products to Brazil
Thanks Coleman for a lifetime of memories. Coleman defines the USA.
So awesome to see the pride in craftsmanship of a company endure the test of time.
I've had mine for 40 years. My son just bought one for himself remembering the fun he had as a boy using these lanterns.

I have 2 of my dads old Coleman's. Over 40 years old. And a Coleman stove. All still work.
I have a lot of them and they all work. Can't pass one up at a yard sale. My favorite is the 228 big hats! The oldest one I have is a 54. I took a couple of them to boyscout camp and the other parents wonder if they would even work. When I fired them up and lit the whole camp up they loved it. Now when we need light at outdoor facilities they look at me for lanterns and a stove for coffee.
A fabulous invention that created untold numbers of great memories 😃👌❤️❤️❤️
Made in Wichita Kansas USA, They can be found pretty cheap used, but often need cleaning and minor repairs. Propane and now LED had taken over the game. Coleman white gas /camp gas is hard to beat .
I saw a useful tip online the other day. It was suggested to put a few turns of electrical tape on the bail where it hits the fount. That will stop the bail from dinging the piant every time you set the lantern down and the bail falls over.
Wicked! Love coleman lamps and stoves. 💝
I've used Coleman all my life....55 years...👍👍
What I like about Coleman they stand behind their products LOVE COLEMAN
I've got the one my parents used when we would camp from around '79 or '80. Still works well and holds pressure. I even have the box it came in. I also have the Coleman stove we used for camping. Both excellent products
please never stop making them ... ! they awesome.
Coleman definitely contributed to my enjoyment of the outdoors.
I just got my 220 F Use Generator lantern at an auction for $15.00 on October 21, 2021! Hardly used, 6 220F 67 on bottom & I'm in love, named it Howie! Needs to be cleaned internally. Has the Pyrex globe too! I also have 2 propane Coleman lanterns! Love that green!
I have 5 Coleman lanterns & 1 Coleman stove, all purchased from 1980 to 1991. They all still work. I had to send my model 275 (purchased in 1983) back in 1994 due to it flooding when I went to light it. Coleman fixed it for a dirt cheap price & sent it back in record time. Needless to say, I’m very happy with my Coleman lanterns & stove.
I have a red 200A that I bought (I'm guessing) in the early 80's. Used it a few times then put it away in the red plastic Coleman case I had bought especially for this lantern. It's been stored for about 33 years but I got her out, added some fuel and she started right up with the original 33+ year old mantle. Looks and works like new. Thank you for preserving knowledge.
One of the most american companies! Still stand by their products today!
I just bought one of these. So awesome. They're still MADE in the USA!

Bill Vegas “Hear the night....Go solar!” Says the guy who doesn’t know what time of day the sun shines.
It's a wonderful feeling when you get one you feel like you want to go camping of go outside to turn it on ,I have 5 when the power went out my neighbors were using flashlights and I was using my Coleman lantern and they were wondering why I had do much light.
My best memories were those of the late 50s and 60s growing up and going camping during the summer and Dad pumping up and starting the Coleman lanterns and stove! I wouldn’ trade those memories for anything! Coleman made in America and making memories world wide!
I've got a 50's stove and lantern and a newer multi-fuel stove and a kerosene lantern and the work as good as when they were made. Will always remember the hiss the lanterns make. Thanks, Coleman for FINE products! And Brandmade for showing!
I sold these for over a decade nice to see the rest of the story on how, where and the history.
i remember when i was a young boy in texas my granpa always had 2 in his home and when he used to take me hunting he always used it
1 bought a lantern when i was 18, im 46 and still use it regularly. Now i have 3 lamps.2 vintage, the one i bought and a 3 burner and 2 burner stoves and today i just got a catalytic heater off e bay. They all reside in my homade camper now and get used all the time. Still american made and still the best camping option out there.
They used to use Thorium in the mantles years ago. They switched to Ytterium because it wasn`t radioactive.
I think everyone should have at least one of these and a good supply of fuel and mantles, and be familiar with how to use it. A stove that runs on the same fuel as your lamp is a good thing to have on hand as well. A very simple step every household can take for disaster preparedness as well as recreation. I think after the recent situation in Texas we can see the utility of a non-electric light that can run on a variety of fuels (gasoline, white gas, and even clear kerosene) that puts out a large amount of light as well as quite a bit of heat. I've rarely had to use these indoors in emergencies so always be mindful of ventilation and have a working battery powered CO detector. I've never had a coleman lamp set one off although you can smell it running a little.
I love this….I live in the capitol city of Kansas and will soon be driving to see the Coleman factory and museum.
I love these i was in mexicali when the 7.2 earthquake hit the city turned the power to check lines for 2 or 3 days it was really dark at night one neighbor had one and it lid his whole house after that i started buying them cant pass them at garage sales
coleman lanterns are just the best.. I've had a few over the years and never let me down.. so reliable.. you can stick yer new fangled lanterns that take batteries . old stuff are the best.. better built and reliable..
I love collecting vintage Coleman lanterns 😁

Picked up a 1970 220F at yard sale, works great for hunting season and power outages.
This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while!
I've got half-a--dozen of them in the garage...only one right now without a broken globe...but not counting the glass and the mantles (they become ash, after all) I don't think I've ever broken one, and they always have worked for me...just clean fuel, and a few pumps...great tools that are dependable! Now, if metal things would quit hitting them in the truck bed, and breaking the globes! ;-)

There are protective cases for most models. They protect the glass and they keep dirt daubers and spiders out of the lantern.
Love it! God bless William Coffin Coleman.
I've used Coleman products for work and play for over fourty years, I have 15 lanterns, oldest is a 1949 228d... Works still. Found it in the dump with a near mint 1959 200a, that works too, they all work! My wife just bought me a new 639 c. Never had a brand new one before.

Nice! I just rescued one built in the early 1960's.
I have to ask. Why are the globes not made by Pyrex anymore? These made in china ones crack when will sometimes crack while the lantern is on!
My grand dad gave me his Still works great.
I just got one for fishing. I’m so hyped
I love coleman lamps and stoves since the 60s
Nice. I'm a Coleman collector!
Don't have a lantern, but I do a 1974 508 single burner stove with mess pot / case and it's awesome.
Gotta Get One!
I rescued a broken 288 from a street market in TJ 10 years ago, and just bought a 'Deluxe' propane lantern too. The new one is made in Taiwan, but still appears to be a quality build. Fired up effortlessly! Looking forward to many years with both! I'll give my money to any company that still provides parts and stands behind their craftsmanship!
O why why I thought they only made the coolers here I guess they make the lanterns here as well. That's awesome I live here in Wichita ks
It's always been Coleman green -except when it was Coleman red, or sears blue or sears gold or Coleman tan
Good old Coleman !
I have one from 79', 82', a newer one that sits atop a 1lb propane bottle, and a 502 single stove,
Myn is 10 years old still works perfectly every summer.
Dad use to fish Paulina Lake, Oregon where we visited Coleman family members, did you Colemans remember fishing from Paulina Lake cabin?
Hope this is one of the companies that continues making their lamps in the USA.
I have several. The oldest was made in '61. It still works great. How many other products last that long?

Battery-operated lanterns take away from the fun of camping and also fluorescent or incandescent bulbs attract mosquitoes and other insects more than the gas Coleman lanterns. I use oil hurricane lanterns and Coleman gas lanterns when I go camping but I do have flashlights just in case and I do use a battery operated Lantern made by Coleman for inside the tent.
Are all Coleman lanterns made in USA?. I got a Coleman North Star and it stated it is made in China. Very poor quality.

The liquid-fueled lanterns are USA made. Is your NorthStar liquid-fuel or propane? In the video you can see the liquid-fuel NorthStar founts with the other traditional-styled ones.
Sadly, lanterns like this are just about a thing of the past. Even propane lanterns are rarely ever used anymore. Wasn't long ago that when you went to a sporting goods store like Academy, you saw a whole aisle of gas or propane lanterns. Not anymore. You might find a few lanterns sitting somewhere in the camping section. But battery and solar powered lights have taken the place of this piece of History. As an avid camper myself, it's been years since I've used any kind of Coleman lantern. I still have four of them sitting, being unused. I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.
