Took the family to Dollywood this weekend and stopped by the Coleman Outlet in Pigeon Forge, TN. Sort of an impulse buy, but they had this 288-B lantern on clearance. I'm told it was a return to the store, although they guaranteed it was in full working order. They said it had been marked down, because it had been lit. Anyway, it had tags on it indicating original price $69.99, marked down to $48.98, then marked down again to $37.98. They threw in a pack of two mantles.
There is a note taped to the tank, which reads "Store use, reason for discount. No other discounts".
I joked with my 9yo if she thought my sweet wife would yell at me for buying another lantern. She said, "Probably, you've already got a hundred of them". She exaggerates. Sweet Wife, to her credit, while she does not understand why I need another lantern, was supportive, nonetheless.
