I have collected Coleman lanterns for a few years. My last count was around seventy five. Plus two and three burner stoves. Also G.I. stoves. They are getting harder and harder to buy at decent prices. I hit about half a dozen flea markets and can usually find a couple of lanterns. When you start collecting you'll buy up anything green. Then after reality sets in and you find your running out of storage space. So now I am more selective in my purchases. I have lanterns from the middle 1920's that work like the day they were purchased. An added bonus is if you can get a lantern dated on your birth month and year. That is special and you can burn it on your birthday. Most people I talk to have fond memories as a kid sleeping over at grandpa's fishing cabin and making breakfast on the Coleman stove. Or out night fishing with your dad and hearing the hiss of the lantern and the hiss of an unfortunate moth getting too close to the glass and crashing and burning. They are almost all repairable. Parts are readily available. Most lanterns I get only require a clean up and they work perfectly. Enjoy the hobby and the wonderful stories people will tell you about their memories of lanterns and stoves. Also if possible light them outside, then when they are operating correctly, take them indoors. Just as a precaution. P.S. I have yet to get my birth lantern. I need September 1952. I have August, October, and November. I'll run across it one day. All part of the fun of collecting!

I have a double mantle Coleman lantern, "Special Boy Scout Edition" that I won in1969 at a scout jamboree. It's still in brand new condition.

Such fond memories I have, deer hunting, fishen, Boyscouts, etc, I sure miss the old days, old veteran

I learned more about lanterns today than I ever thought I would in my life. All this talk about knobs, rods, and prickers got me excited lol

2 years ago a buddy and i went out to his cabin for a hunting trip and a big unexpected storm came through and knocked out the power so we busted out a couple Coleman lanterns

Firearms and oil lamps; two of my favourite things.

Theres nothing wrong with additional content beyond guns. Interesting content is always interesting.

It's amazing how men can stare away fire for minutes or hours at a time, not a word spoken.

Ahh the relaxing nostalgic sound of a Coleman lamp. We used them when we went camping with the Cub scouts and boy scouts. My pa and I still bring at least one with use on our hunting trips.

Brings back memories of camping and deer hunts with my dad. He was a Coleman fanatic. Everything we used was Coleman.

Finally some appreciation for lanterns

Coleman lanterns and camp stoves, awesome and useful collectibles that never go out of style.

Love my old lanterns and oil lamps. Always work as long as you have the fuel.

Great hobby, Chad. The sound, and smell of these takes me right back to the day, hunting up in the Maine Allagash...

Absolutely wanna see more! Lanterns are a part of American history and culture for sure

I think Chad likes to be referred to as a "lantern enthusiast".

I would love to see you guys testing and reviewing old military lanterns . Just about everyone a had a good ol lantern in the old days . I love my Coleman Northstar lantern .

Good change of pace fellas. Enjoyed this video!!!!

The box made for the 220 was a project discussed in detail with measurements in a fur fish and game magazine in the 80's. Thanks so much for sharing. I bought a petromax 829 like your aida because of this video. Been collecting guns for 31 years . Love you guys videos.

Great to see this video , I collect them too and really get excited finding the older ones!!

Seeing a couple grown men not afraid to nerd out in public just reassures me that I'm normal, lol. I really enjoyed this video.

Always glad to see someone else keeping the home lights lit..literally. My first experience of a gas lanterns was camping with my dad's "borrowed" gear from his reservist armory...helps to have been the senior Company NCO to 'test the gear for field use'...1959? I'm not going to mention the 300 pound squad tent cots and C-rats/10-in-one goodies that made the trip... I've had a liking for them ever since. One military model I got at for free at a swap-off/dropoff day in my community...if you have something you don't want, drop it off, maybe pick up something else. I have many, the oldest is a Coleman single-mantle 242C from 1946. The latest is maybe 20 years old, I forget which model. One kero model a friend just gave me about a month or so ago. All are in ready-to-use state....I think I have around 9 or 10 all told. Some few years back we had a block party (they block off the street), and the entire street was illuminated with my lanterns AND about half a dozen oil lamps. I also have a couple single-burner Coleman stoves, four or five two-burners, and a three-burner base camp stove I got NIB with the original punch-card registration card and box etc. When we lost power (no heat, etc.) for five days in winter, the lanterns and a stove kept us warm-ish and safe.

Back in my early days of deer camp. Our cabin has no water or electricity and we use to play cards with 2 Coleman lanterns. I love Coleman lanterns. They remind me of good times with my dad, uncle and cousin

This lantern video is one of the most entertaining ever.

Eric's reaction to the different lanterns is the best part.

That was great! There are countless varieties of liquid-fueled lanterns, stoves, and heaters. Some lanterns have cooking attachments. Old lamps and stoves, can be super inexpensive - so a cheap way to collect useful equipment. Lawn sales and Craigslist will get you some. Many KZread vids and forums on collecting and fixing them, too. I'd love to see a whole series on this subject! Thank you.

I loved it guys. I am 41 years old and still have 2 lanterns as back up to my solar. Would love move on them. God Bless.

My personal favorite happens to be the UCO candle lantern. I use it for camping and I also love the smell of beeswax.

Oh, and I totally understand your enthusiasm here, Chad. Good going, friend!

Boy Scouts in the learly 70s , Coleman lanterns were a way of life in the Maine woods , still to this day . Thanks Chad , great memories returned with this . Volume 2 to follow .

One of my favorite favorite videos of you guys in a while. So much fun!

Nice trip back into my childhood, I grew up fishing with my dad and used all of these at one time or another. Thanks guys!

Earliest one my dad has is 1920's he's selling. He said it takes a special type of valve to get the gas in.

I got into lanterns before firearms, collected them, and rebuilt them. They were cheaper to collect than firearms, so it was one and still is a hobby of mine. It probably helped directed me towards collecting firearms when I got older, gave me appreciation for variety and age.

Hell yeah those are cool. The paint, glass, metal, fuel and warm light they make, nostalgia ect, a hobby id be into if I didn’t have too many already

i have to say thanks to you guys for this. A few months back before my grandfather passed i got a lantern from him. at the time I had so much going on that i just stuck it on a shelf in my barn. Went straight home after watching this and noticed its a 228D from 1948. So excited now to get it back running. Its in great shape just needs a tune up im sure. Thanks Again!

You guys just brought back some good old memories of when my parents and I went camping. That was how we would light the area and cook. I still have the lantern and stove. Thank you very much!!

Super awesome video! I love old lanterns and camp stoves. Used some this past weekend. Love seeing the other hobbies that gun people have.

Brought back to life two 220 lanterns a few years ago. Former homeowner left two 220 lanterns in rough shape. Love that parts are still available.

Have to say good vid. Also I guess I really am a hillbilly, the lanterns I had as a kid and still use are the old kerosene wick kind. Never really been around are used the kind show in the vid, all in all cool.

Coleman is definitely the John Deere or Harley Davidson of Lanterns.

Good video. It brings back so many memories of camping in the '80's with my friends, out in the woods, cooking at night under the light of a couple Coleman lanterns, after a full day of hiking or canoeing. Good times.

I've been collecting lanterns for about 30 years now and I use them too, they're great for night fishing.

Pretty cool video, definitely reminded me of camping trips with the family when I was a kid. I like boxes of old ammo, doesn't matter what kind as long as it's old and the box is cool.

A very nice departure from the usual topics (which also love) but thank you for the variety.

I have my great grandparents Coleman lantern and Colman stove. The lantern I believe is a 220 from 1955. Just fired it up. (With a broken mantel) lit up like a dream.. cool video.

This Video was probably still demonetized due to guns in the background...

I remember my dad using these whenever we went camping when I was a kid. Still love those things.

Awesome! I've been collecting coleman lanterns for years....one of my favorite collections. Nothing is better than pouring fuel into a lantern from the 40s that hasnt run in decades and firing it up to produce significant light output. Keep up the lantern content lol

This is excellent. From a guy who grew up on a farm needing to use lanterns, this is right up my alley.

Thank you, guys. Very much appreciated! I've restored two Aladdin mantle lamps that used to light my dad's childhood home, and boy are they cool! The smell, bright light, nostalgia. And as you said, "just in case".

Well, they are actually not *literally* cool. In additrion to light, they produce extreme amounts of heat as well, so you can keep an entire room lit and warm with one of those!

Youve blown me away with your knowledge and comforted me cause i own a dozen or more lanterns and 50+- oil lamps.

Cool video! I always have my Coleman stove and lantern when I go truck camping. Can’t beat the old stuff.

Lemme tell you guys, every memorial day me and my buddies go on a 3 day 2 night canoe trip and lanterns are a MUST HAVE! We have to pack light to make sure we don't sink the canoes with all the beer in the coolers. Sometimes old tech is the best tech! This is a perfect example of that.

Coleman lamps and stoves are indeed iconic. I love mine, and should go looking at yard sales for a couple more of each! Thanks for the video!

I remember using them as both light and heat while ice fishing as a kid. One lantern would heat the entire ice shanty to the point where it would be sub freezing outside, howling wind but we were inside in T-shirt’s and jeans comfy. The lantern would attract fish through the ice. I’ve seen ones with a metal box up top to heat/cook/boil with. That’d be extremely valuable in a grid down or boon docking.

I've actually been collecting glass oil lamps. It's a cheaper addiction than guns

I grew up in Wichita, Ks, home of the Coleman Company and own a Dual Mantle 220 that I've had since the 60's. Many a good use out of it during Boy Scout years and still functional today !!!

I've been getting my lanterns gone through after buying a Coleman 288 at a garage sale a few weeks ago for $5. I've also been thinking of building boxes for my lanterns, 2 cans of fuel each, and spare parts. I've got the 288, a 295 Dual fuel, and a 285 dual fuel. We used them when I was a kid when we went fishing!

You seriously need to do more shows on lanterns. This was really interesting. I have a 1969 228F and a 1970 220F. Both were mild fixer uppers. Inherited the 1970 from an uncle who passed and bought the 1969 for $20 on Craigslist. So much fun and history.

Good idea having a storage box. I'm in the process of getting my old stove and lantern running. When I got them out of the shed my stove was a mouse condo and my lanterns internals had mud dobber nests jamming up my air tube from the tank. Getting them going though. For right now I'm gonna keep my lantern in a 5 gallon pickle bucket!

Thank you ... would like to see more!!

been watching your videos for years, this was my favorite. just rebuilt a 1964 413f stove to complement my 228f lantern.

Also have a '79 228J with the big hat, even have a little 226 backpackers lantern that I bought new back in the early 90's and brought with me on trips in the Trinity Alps.
