- In this video, I share part of my Coleman vintage table lamp collection and talk about the different models. I share some history and talk about different Coleman lantern parts and how they function. I explain how the lantern mantles work and the rare earth metals including thorium and yttrium that are used to make the mantles glow. I also share my small collection of Coleman #0 fuel funnels. To end the video I light one of the table lamps so that you can see how well they can light up an area in the house. Stay to the end to watch vintage BS!

I'm amazed at how bright those old lamps are!
It is amazing that chemists figured out how to make mantles glow so bright. Cars hadn't even been invented at that time.
Excellent video two thumbs up thank you👍🏻👍🏻
thanks for watching.
Really nostalgic. ❤❤❤
We like and use our vintage stuff.
I’m shocked but yet amazed they used lead seals before rubber, makes so much sense….thanks Mr Obsolete
A lot of technology was used in these old lamps, even though they are fairly simply made. Collecting and learning about this old stuff is a great hobby !
Wow you have a great Colmen collection and your knowledge is great too. I have never seen the mixing cans you have . I love the Colmen products .
Having the accessories to go along with the lamps, lanterns and stoves, was a good marketing move by Coleman, as you could get everything needed at one time and place.
That is fascinating! Thank you!
Amazing to think that great inventions like the lamps and mantles were thought up by people with no computer or think tank, just intellect !
I got a lot of possems around here fuel hmmmmmmm.nice collection of coleman lamps you have there ,vary neat.
Looks like you are all set for lantern fuel sources !
Love anything about lamps! I have a collection of kerosene lamps! The Coleman lanterns are very Kool…👍🔔❤️
We like all types of lanterns. Did you see the video I did on kerosene lanterns ?
very good thank you i did not know that about the mantels that they were actually metal
It is amazing to think that the mantles were perfected in the late 1800's, before people even had cars. History is so fascinating.
Mr Obsolete ur àre a jack of all trades. I have been curious about Coleman for some time. U answered some of my questions ☺️
I will be doing some more video's before too long, on gas lanterns and stoves. The history and ingenuity behind them is quite interesting, and an important part of our history. Thanks for the comment and for watching.
As usual, very interesting. Thanks for informing.
Thanks for watching!
Oh man those are neat!! Thanks for sharing!!!
These old lamps are useful in times of power outages, and are interesting pieces from the past as well ! They are bright enough to read by.
Aww geez, now I gotta find me a Lamp too!🤣🤣
Glad to help broaden your horizons, so you can collect more junk ! What are friends for EH !
Man, those are cool. Now I’m going to have to snag one
A neat and useful colectable for sure.
What’s a good first model to look for? I’ve passed on several in local online auctions but now I’m gonna have to find one
The later model lamps with the built in pressure pumps are the best ones to find as you don't need a separate pump, and if parts are needed, they are easier to find.@@wildcaughtfirewood1511
Thanks for all the info!! The wife inherited a 156. Trying to get it fired up 👍👍
The Coleman table lamps are a neat piece of history, and are nice to have for when the power goes out. They have a nice pure white light, and is bright enough to read with. Thanks for watching.
I have been through many antiques stores never have seen one. I still have a 1970s Coleman lantern with similar mantles runs on white gas along with 2 1950s Coleman stoves. Very interesting
One can find these lamps on EBAY, but many are over priced.
Absolutely Cool Mr Obsolete I’ve Seen These But Never in Operation 😮😲😲😮😀❤️❤️❤️😀😊 Love Em All
These old lamps are really useful when the power is out, plus they have an interesting history. Vintage is best !
Those are sweet lamps. I want one but I can't justify spending $100+ on something I'll barely use. I'm just going to stick with outdoor lanterns.
Love oil lamps!
And lots of heat. A
Yep, they are great !
Haven’t saw those before. Interesting
I wasn't familiar with them until I was looking through a swap meet at a tractor show a long time ago. I picked it up and found the Coleman name on it, then looked at it more closely and saw the burner tubes, just like the ones on my lanterns, so I figured it out. It didn't have a globe or shade, but I could see that it was made for sitting on a table. That started me on collecting Coleman stuff.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 is there much of a market for them? Value? Or similar to lanterns
@@crazydave4455 Their are quite a few lamp and lantern collectors, but they are not really represented at the shows etc. When we were at Rolag a while back, there was a small building dedicated to them, but few people were looking at them, which was too bad, because it was an excellent display. Guess engines and tractors are more exciting. There is a Coleman collectors club international, and they have satellite groups all over the planet. Here in the PNW we have an active group of enthusiasts, but I haven't been involved for quite a while, as these groups are more oriented toward a social gathering, than lamps, lantern and stoves. Several members worked for Coleman for most of their working lives, and had a lot of interesting tales. As for values, there isn't any real consensus, and on Flea Bay, the prices are all over the place. So if one can find a deal grab it.
@@mrobsoletesvintagehomestea9156 I like all the old stuff, but definitely prioritize the engines at a show like Rollag. If time allows I hit the rest! Thanks Mr O
I always like to look at everything at the shows, but engines and tractors etc. are my main focus too.@@crazydave4455
that was pretty bright antique lights like that I like the way they look the style but the way they made them back then the way they got them today they just don't look like they got the the shape and the Style
Vintage is best !
Man those are too cool! And dang bright to boot! Your talking about rendered animal fat..., do whale oil lamps have any differing characteristics? Or is oil, oil...?
Whale oil was used in lamps for many years. I don't know the characteristics of it compared to animal fat, but my guess is that it was better, as it was more like an oil, where animal fats have to be kept warm to flow like an oil.
thx
Your welcome.
There had been great interest in light for mining etc . . those poor buggers , but flame no bueno coal seam gas
