We will be there again this year. Going to try out the new/old 40 year coleman pop up that was kept in a barn as the gathering camper. Found it this winter for a steal! Much easier to tow and a lot kinder on gas. Will be a blast again, I am sure!

I will throw in my viewpoints. I preheat all my lanterns before I lite them. Old/New, doesn't matter. All the newer ones with Schrader valve pickups, slowly pulse for the first few minutes. Most of them straighten up to solid after a minute or two. The older ones ( Ks back) if preheated light up at ...

I am relatively new to this gathering although I was there last year. I was sitting around last night coming up with a theme, sorta, just for me, as its something I always do for these things.

This will allow us to set up a common place to gather and eat. As they do not have a pavilion in the camping areas. They also have cabins ...

So got to looking at these two today. What was the idea with the bigger Generator with the 249. More Surface Area Perhaps? Just curious if any of your know the thought as to why Coleman went with the bigger sized Generator. Its interesting to think about later on with the 201 how they went back to t...

Random question.....how dark are the skies out there. I was thinking of bringing my big 8" Dobsonian Telescope out if anyone is interested. I know here near Atlanta we don't get the views like out west. I know with the all the lanterns going it going to be bright, but I am sure there will be some da...

Is there anywhere anyone knows where you can get reproduction glass shades? I have several lamps, that I would at least like to get back to looking like original. Thanks!

Trying to work out this trip driving up from GA...going to be 10 + plus hours but I think its will be do-able.

dairborn

well this went no where fast!

Saw this in the classified section…really nice 319 up for trade. What lanterns would you say are on par or the same playing field as that lantern? Colmax? I sorta feel like it’s in a world of its own…curious about these answers. Thanks for playing!

dairborn

That sorta seems silly to me no?

dairborn

Am I missing something....where is the delete option on your own posts? Thanks! It seems once people start commenting the ability to delete goes away?

Spread the word Rob….love to get more ideas for content……we need to reach out to as many as we can!

dairborn

I don't have a Nova,,,my son wants me to get one and do a comparison......we can put it on the menu...I think Cost comparison would be interesting as well. I did compare it to a 237 and the north star with a lux meter, and the H.C blew them away!

Hello Lantern World, So during the Gettysburg Gathering, I had a chance to meet Aaron King, who makes H.C. Lanterns out of PA. I told him I would try and get the word out about his lanterns, lamps,and other goodies he makes. I put out a couple of videos tonight about the Lantern, his products, and d...

Hello all...I have a beautiful Red Tilley Lamp that one of our armed forces members was kind of to send over from England.

Hey Joe,<br /><br />Welcome to the fold. This is the place to be. I didn't get into this that far ago as well.
