Coleman Keepers Campfire come on in!

[davidniebeling]

I jsut thought I'd post a couple of pics of my lamps. I got these last summer at yard sales. It had the wood box that the original owner built when it was new. It is a 220E from 1961. He had $20 for it and I ended up paying $15

Here are some more pics. I just figured out how to do multipal pics in one post!

Here is the box


I got these two from my neighbor. He gave them to me when he was cleaning out his shed. One needs glass. But hey, free is good!


They both need mantels, and I need to clean up the 220E and try to get it running. This is my first lantern so I am learning all about it.

Great start... there is no going back now......

I told my wife it's called "colemanlanternitis", there is no known cure, and it is highly contageous. It usually turns into "stoveritis" and "anythingcolemanitis" Symtoms include spending way too many hours scouring CraigsList, going to every yard sale and hitting every flea market.

Here is an advanced case of "Colemanosis" so beware.



This is most of it. I am getting better I have reduced the total number by about 50.

I think I'm 'good' with my 200a, my two burner stove and the two 'new' lanterns (still up in storage loft in my shop, actual vintage unkown, but they have red plastic cases). After looking at the colmanlanternitis posts, I checked craigslist for chits-n-giggles... and wound up gasping at what the local 'market' thinks they're worth... one 200a (in decent looking shape) was $60! needless to say I kept right on looking...

I think another Frankenlantern about to be created.

Sweet! I never get cool stuff in the mail at work.
