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

    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.

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.

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.

  • @jrm4408
    @jrm44083 жыл бұрын

    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.

    You can still buy these standard dual mantle lanterns (288s), but you’ll have to check with certain retailers, not sure if you can still get them on amazon. You can always check specialty stores like leacock coleman center or your local Coleman outlet store if you have one nearby.

    Loved my coleman lamp but those mantels were so delicate. Knock the lamp too hard and the mantel will be a puff of chalky dust.

    proof that the mantels shouldn't cost a quarter of what the lantern does.

    Easy to fix if you know which parts are bad. Not many parts to replace.

    Coleman has hit rock bottom!!! Closing the factory in Kansas with all the history and putting people out of a job. Coleman products have been declining in quality. I own many old Coleman products from the 1940s to current. Many top products like exponent have been discontinued. In a final blow all the factory stores have closed

    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.
