I will take as many as you'd like to sell. Have been using lanterns a lot and the wicks go fast.

I just meant I would send a few to whoever wants them for free.

I found this on Facebook marketplace for 40$! Its really big though, so im not sure if ill use it. It would take up alot of room in the 60 :/

Finally had an occasion to use my $10 thrift shop find.

I was very impressed by it's ability to regulate temperature. I'll definitely be using it a lot more on future trips

You might be able to fit a 200 or 242 lantern INSIDE that stove…in the back of the 60…

My first older piece of Coleman gear, the classic two burner stove, was gifted to me by a coworker. Its essentially brand new with its original box! Really excited to try it out. 413G499

Very nice. Sometimes the build date is stamped on the bottom by Coleman.

I have most of a POS box of #21 Insta-Clip lantern mantles that I don't need. If any of you all can use a couple, PM me your address and I'll mail them. I think I can mail one or two two packs in a standard US Mail envelope.View attachment 3371461

Picked up this weird vertical cooler today.

 

[aztoyman]

Pretty cool. How does it work, ice in the big bin? Seems like the label/tag on the lid would be turned 90 degrees. Never seen one before. It's very similar in size, shape type of plastic interior and latch as our old green regular style we bought new in the 80's.

Really nice condition compared to ours that's been dragged around and beat up over the years. Nice find.

What is the best way to ship a lantern? Do you pack the globe separately?

 

[AirheadNut]

Question for the gurus here: I've been doing a light refresh on a 1935 228B I picked up a few years ago. Replaced the generator, fuel cap gasket and put new mantles on it and it lights fine, but doesn't burn very bright and there is a faint orange flame that dances around the outside of the mantles. What would cause this? For comparison the 200A I finished prior to this one burns much brighter even on a single mantle.

Sounds like it’s running rich, perhaps?
Might benefit from more air.
Check the intake tube (? Official name) to make sure it’s not restricted somewhere.
I’ve found spider webs inside them before, and all kinds of moth/bug debris inside the collar.
Also check burner/mantle tubes and screens for restrictions.

That said, I have some in my collection that burn humbler than others no matter what I fettle with.
