    I just signed up on your sister site Classic Camp stoves but I also own a few lanterns as well, namely a Coleman model 200 I've been using since 1970 when I bought it. I also own a Coleman double mantle as well as a WWII model. If my sister hasn't thrown it away, there's a Sears lantern up in the garage attic (circa 1957) but I'll have to verify that Anyway, I always take that lantern on my camping trips along with it's red metal storage case. While I have more modern propane lanterns I've always loved that old Coleman it's really been around. Anyway, more to come, just stopping to say hi.

    That JC Higgens goes back to 1957 when we first went camping My dad was a great fan of Sears, bought the lantern, cooler, stove and cooler along with the tent and sleeping bags Still have most of it hanging around even after all these years.

    Three, that’s a collection! More will follow.

    I love the red 200 and the case. I’m taking my 200a to the Newark meet today.

    Yup, love the red 200, one of the prettiest little lanterns Coleman (or anyone) made.
