Coleman display idea at IRG.....
by doug hodder » Fri May 21, 2010 12:19 am
Since there are a fair number of us attending the IRG that have or have recently acquired....(Chris) gas pressure lanterns/stoves....what about maybe putting a display of some of it together? Several of us have items that are nearly 90 years old and between all of us, I'm sure that we could come up with a time line of equipment that would be of interest to many. Just set up a couple of tables with them on display. Whether or not someone wants to fire it up is up to them, but at least maybe put a card that explains what year, manufacturer, and model it is. For some of us...they are daily users. Might be a fun thing to do....I know that at a previous gathering last year...many of us spend hours BS'ing about them and staring at stark white light or the blue flame of a stove. Just an idea.

I'd like to do that.

The quantity and variety would be very edumacational!

Kinda reminds me of sitting up at Wolf Creek...late at night a group of old "gas heads" staring at a bunch of lanterns running and BS'ing about them...Jeez...we need to get a life huh?

This is exactly the life I want. I was out in the garage tonite rebuilding my speedmaster 500.
Hanging out in the woods staring at lanterns and eating Kevins cookies. it dosn't get any better
