    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 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 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.

    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

    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.

    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.

  • @jrm4408
    @jrm4408 3 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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.

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

    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.

    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

      I've never seen a battery powered lantern put out near as much light, though.

      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.
