For the past 30 years I have been carrying my Coleman lantern around in the cardboard box that in which it came. After this season I realize that even as great as duct tape is it ain't going to fix the box anymore. I been thinking of getting one of those molded plastic clamsheel goldenrod cases but I am not sure if my 220E lantern will fit. Does anyone know for sure if it will fit?
Was down at my hunting camp yesterday
, and found my old Coleman 220 K lantern in a my old school bus camper
, that i now use for storage. The lantern has a mfg. date of 11/79.......was full of fuel
. And i had just ran our of gas in my riding mower, mowing around camp 
( did not want to drive to town for gas) .........recycled the fuel in lantern in the lawn mower and finshed mowing grass around camp.

Classic! Absolute Classic!
Found an old 220 K lantern at my wifes old house that she used when they were kids. Date on it is an 82, but it needs a globe.
I also found an old military vehicle stove model 523 at an antique store. Everything was there in good condition for $75. What are these worth?

That is cool, possibly even worth a Guinness record perhaps.
But if you read the fine print on the last page of the Guinness Book of World Records it notes that all world records are held by Chuck Norris, and those listed in the book are simply the closest anyone else has ever gotten.
I have a quite the stash of Coleman stuff. 3 burner stove, 1 med. 2 burner, and 2 sm. 2 burners stoves one of which is a 1/79 production date (birthday 1/8/79). I believe that I have 8 coleman white gas lanterns in different shapes and sizes. We use them for Elk Camp.
i like the ole school lanterns and stoves..............good one for sure----------i go to deer camp every week--i want to go to elk camp!!!!!
I have 2 heaters, a 2 burner classic, a single burner gas of newer vintage and an old gasoline lantern.
Hey guys I'm writing an article on 'relic camping gear', does anyone mind if I borrow their pics (all credit to you of course). LMK
Fine with me just as long as you post a link to the article
Will do!
Rocket Stoves anyone?
You may want to look at a Rocket Stove. Here's what they look like Wood Burning Rocket Stove-Camping/Hunting Cooking Stove - eBay (item 200368017505 end time Jan-19-11 19:01:12 PST) and they are easy to build Rocket Stove Design Base - Home .
They are easy to build and make good heaters too. I especially like the 16-brick model YouTube - How to Make a 16 Brick Rocket Stove .
Just a great idea to go along with your Colemans...
