Now I know why I can't find them in the wild..they are all at the lantern shack!!!

Holy smokes! Is that just one person's collection??

[cuyeda]

Or, maybe he has the rest of the ones you can't find...

And to think we were worried about how to get a few lanterns to a lightup. I thought I was a Coleman nut. I have loooooong way to go.

When I see people with a collection like that it makes me feel much better. I was thinking I had too many lanterns and in realality I'm just ameture hour.

Thanks for sharing the pictures!

Hoarders!!! They need to share with us!! It's unhealthy for them...we need to organize an intervention...

Just how does one get a collection that big?? Holy cow!! And how many people are hoarding lanterns like that?? Good thing Coleman made such quality stuff for so long..maybe there is a chance to find some good ones yet!!

Did anyone see a gold bond in the first picture? I'm going back to look...or maybe it's too new for that collector.

I think I'd better work on the 275 today...maybe it will make me feel better about what I'm missing

I think the gold bond stuff is in the boxes.

I want a birthday 502, a 2 burner stove with a gold and brown paint theme, the stove Mom owns that is in Camptonville, whatever lanterns I left up there, and whatever other lanterns I can get my hands on. Maybe another kind of single burner stove. I like those things...I'm not sure why, but I like them.

Of course I want a gold bond lantern, but I also want a billion dollars..a million doesn't go far nowadays...not in CA, anyway!!

Maybe another 502 painted like a gold bond...or repaint the one I have...
