Nice one Mark, I don't have a USFS yet so I'm jealous of course.
I'd love a red one with the embossed fount but I think a bit too much $$$ these days!

Nice line up!
That 'other Canadian' is one of those models that still goes for crazy money on auction sites.

Normal service has been resumed... Move along, nothing to see here... I will have a word with management about letting Uncle Sidney lose in the back end.

Wasn't me. Honest!

When I do a 'Full Editor' post everything looks like it used to. But reading the thread then all is bold...

So I'm as puzzled as you guys, which is generally not a good sign as normally I make the changes!

Nice. FYI we will lose local FM radio broadcasts here at the end of 2024.

I think this'll be gone quick when you guys wake up on Sunday... very nice.

Just to show that I still occasionally add to the herd... A 249 scout I picked up here a couple weeks ago at a reasonable price. A bit wonky but it'll straighten up I'm sure. Glad I bought some spare globes a few years back as it makes buying them without much easier! https://i.postimg.cc/66ZbZbYM/I...

I just got me one of these. I'm impressed with it so far. 3W and 6 x AA batteries with a bunch of effects.

Stove to show size!

I found a thread on my example:

https://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/ ... 2B#p139272

Check with Terry Marsh.

I have a 8/55 242B in a similar state as that (about 4/5 down this page you'll see it https://terry-marsh.com/coleman-us-lanterns-1946-1960/ ). Another collector found one other like that over here too, 8/55 as well i think.

I wish I could claim credit, but I have to admit to doing nothing.
Glad it's working though.

Yep, so it seems some of you see the PostImage and some not. That's a hard one for me to get a handle on, unless there's a common thread like: location, OS, browser, etc.
And it's nearing my bedtime here

OK then you have a local PostImages issue if you don't see the top image. If you don't see the second then something is up with the forum, or the image file on the forum. The first image is uploaded using the blue 'P' and the second is direct to the forum. I sometimes see an issue with PostImages wh...

Do you see this one?

And what about this one?

This rather sad little guy's image is 256k... so I think it's fine now.

It's fixed. Try again.

I have a couple of Phoebus stoves with nice graphics on the tin boxes. Camping scenes I think.

ALl these guitars reminds me of this video...

Someone explain to me where that guitar goes at the end!!!???

Gary, thanks for sharing a bit of your story. I'm sure it would be a fantastic evening listening to you tell about your time on the road, not to mention the drag car stuff too! Really sorry to hear of your diagnosis and wishing you every success to get through that. I hope you still get to play for ...

Wow 'gelane' that is an awesome array of gear. Some of those look pretty special!
Liking the Marshall head, the blue acoustic and the 60's LP of course!
Tell us how come you have such a collection, you're not Joe Bonamassa in disguise?

Nice guitars gentlemen. Very nice.

I've wondered about getting a tele or strat, but back in the day when I played my buddy's strat the neck felt thin and narrow compared to my LP copy, and I didn't like it. Question to those who have both, is there a real difference and if so how do you find it?

Had a few moments to whip out the guitars and take some photos, so here goes: #1 Epiphone 12 string FR212 Bought this way back in '84 for £129.00 after I sold my Les Paul copy and went into a 'Led Zep III' phase... that was a heck of a lot of money for me then! Never been able to let it go, so there...

Based on the indications we have a few guitar players on the forum, I propose folks post up their prized ax's and provide as much or as little history as you want. Also, amps and pedals are welcome!

Let's turn it up to eleven!

Okay, okay, we need a guitar thread...

Guilty your honour.

Actually, funny you should mention as this past few days I've learned the solo from Mother, and been playing "Is There Anybody Out There?" on the Fender acoustic my son bought me for Christmas.

Maybe we should have a Guitar Thread on here!

Unfortunately, Beck wasn't really on my playlist at all but none-the-less it's sad when these guys move on the the great gig in the sky.

Nice line up of guitars there Robert!
And when he passes, I can show my Joe Walsh tangerine burst Les Paul

Thanks Rob!

My guess... 118 slant lamp

I only have one red globe that I bought form OCP just as the demand was about to rocket. It's on a 236, but I don't use it. Reason being I like to burn the lanterns on our front terrace which overlooks the street and having a 'red light' hanging out there might attract an unwanted queue of guys at t...

Enjoy your day over there, everyone!

Looks like an issue over at postimages.... we'll have to wait it out.

I'll have a look, but can't do anything until my tomorrow morning... about 12+ hours away.

You can tell them to put you on a 'no return visit' list. However, this organisation faces significant risks w.r.t. GDPR here in Europe. They used to keep all this on computer, as well as a lot of data about the members, and with GDPR and similar legislation it can become very expensive when fined f...

Thanks for the update. Looking forward to see the end results!

I'm getting that more frequently from Europe this week. If I switch to a US VPN then the problem goes away, e.g. Opera browser has a free VPN. Nothing I can do about that one I'm afraid.

Steve, the total of 100 is the limit of all the messages in your mailboxes added up. If you have 79 in Inbox, then you likely have 21 in the Sent box too (or others adding up to 21). The wording is not very clear in that respect. So you have 100 PMs in total and you can't read/release the new ones u...

I tend to keep the tab open with CCF in it, both on desktop and mobile, and rarely have to re-log in. If I close a browser there is a chance I have to log in. Strangely, on mobile if I click on a topic email notification it will often open a new tab in the same mobile browser and I won't be logged i...

Interesting and thanks for sharing. I think? :? Having got into BW film just lately, I keep scouring the Brockenhaus here and see these 'bellows' camera quite often. Werner, how do you tell which film they will take? I've never had a roll of 120 but know it's available, so what do I look for or meas...

I have a Leatherman Tool dated 1098. It looks like the one on the left of John's photo, but with the updated pliers from the right. I bought it on a Swiss Airline flight between Zurich and London with air miles as far as I can recall. Clearly before 9/11 when you could buy knives on airplanes!!! Edi...

OK I just tried on FireFox and it works for me. As does Safari, Chrome and Opera. Be real careful typing in the id and pwd. I had to concentrate several times to get it right! If you have the pwd stored you might want to try to clear that, and/or the cache/cookies. I know that's a pain, so it's last...

Can you please try again, same id and password. Thanks

Thanks. I'm in transit from work to home so will be on it shortly

Are you guys using desktop, laptop, phone or tablet, and windows/mac/android or iPhone?

Thanks

By only placing the very best of the examples certain differences between same models will be missed. Example there are two different colour variation 231's but actually five different variations of them which I know of. There are many other models with different variations as well and the informat...

Thanks Pancho. I'll look into correcting that.

I get a good range with the Little Wil. I've read the bigger brothers are really good (500, 1000 and 5000). No experience with the antennas you mention, but my other user is a tiny Midland C1018 being only 30cm tall and that still gives a reasonable range but is 2 S-points lower than the Wil. I have...

Hi folks, The gallery is ready to hold the finest examples Coleman and you can provide. You'll find it here https://www.colemancollectorsforum.com/viewforum.php?f=17 or at the top level if you click the CCF link on 'OCP < CCF' in the menu bar. :!: PLEASE READ THE FAQ ABOUT IT AT THIS LINK :!: https:...

In the Coleman Gallery we aim to collect only exceptional examples of Coleman GPAs. This means that the images are moderated and only the best will be let in. Therefore, as a forum member, you will notice that you cannot post directly into the gallery pages. So how do your photos make it to the gall...

It was indeed a good meeting. A bit damp on the first weekend I was there, but that did not dimish the renewal of friendships one bit! I took a few phone shots (below) and when I get the BW film back I'll post some of those maybe... Great spag-bol too, Erwin! https://i.postimg.cc/FKVqNZHz/IMG-202209...

He might be better looking for a Tilley iron either on eBay or local FB? I can see a few on there right now ranging from £15 upwards.

It's not white gas, but kerosene, so that might be a factor for him? However, kerosene is easy to buy in the UK and widely used for domestic h/w and heating.
