    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 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.

    Thanks for the nostalgia Eric and Chad. Dad always busted one 9f the green Coleman's out when we were camping. I was always amazed at how bright these things are.

    Nice. I love old Coleman stoves and lanterns. Got a 1969 252a that I believe is one of the coolest lanterns Coleman ever made. 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. I even like some of the newer propane Colemans for their quietness and convenience. Great vid, thanks for sharing!

    Cool video! Have watched your gun videos for years. By a weird coincidence just brought a couple of my old lanterns in from my shed today and started cleaning them up. Thought Id check TH-cam for some rebuild tutorials and there you are with the same ones. The small green and red one you have are the same as mine. Also just acquired 2 more from my grandparents estate, one is a big hat version. Always loved them. Glad to see you all have an interest too. You've got a great collection, thanks for sharing. Been talking to my son about building some wooden storage boxes. You've inspired me to get to work.

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

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

    Best damn crossover video! Have been collecting coleman lanterns since 2015. I love restoring them and making them work again. We still use them every time we go camping.

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

    Never thought I was a collector, but I have 8 of them. Because I like them. Garage Sales mostly like about 5 bucks or so.

    I love old Coleman, I have a couple stoves and lanterns, I'm fascinated by the process of using them. I'm also starting to collect kerosene heaters, they are a nice backup plan for heating the house or using out in the shed.

    I love your videos guys. Especially your gun vids. However, I have to say, this is one of my favorites. Very informational, very cool. Now I'm gonna have to start my own lantern collection!!!
