Thanks again all. Mom knew I was into collecting. I wish I could share all these lights and prayers with her. I know she would really get a great deal of joy out of seeing them.

12057dave

We usually take at least 1 camping/boating outing to Lake Cumberland Kentucky. About 400 miles one way. Diesel truck and gas for boat. I dread thinking what gas will be at the marina pumps. And they did away with everything but 94 octane. If I put my foot down and say we’re staying local there could...

Great pics Daryl! I also really enjoy camp setups by other collectors. Keep them coming!

12057dave

Just want to thank you all so very much for the light ups,prayers and condolences. It is very much appreciated. I’m going to light up dads 1-63 228 tranny tonight for mom.

12057dave

Thanks guys. I really appreciate it.

After having my mom for 94 years she passed into her Saviors arms on March 4 2022. The first picture was taken February 20, 2022. She made the “clean plate club”. The second picture was taken September 7, 2021. Just 13 days before her 94th. I lost dad in 1995 and it was really hard. I think this wil...

12057dave

Thanks for sharing Matt. Great pictures! Looks like you had a great time. Nothing like a little primitive camping. I hope to be doing some of the same towards the first of April with a buddy of mine.

12057dave

Murff. That is a great photo! Good to be able to put a face to the names. Thanks for sharing and glad you had a great day talking all things Coleman.

12057dave

Way to go David! Like Uncle like Nephew. I hope the hook gets a real good set

. If he’s excited now just wait till he actually lays hands on those two GPA’s. Whoohooo

12057dave

Way to cool Shawn! You’ll definitely be great at it

. Don’t worry about pictures now. You’ll have time to post some at a later date

hint hint.

12057dave

I can hear the sucking noise from here in Arizona. Nice pair of lanterns. You get a great big you suck!!😁 Shawn I agree🤣. Sound travels real good because I’m in Ohio. Excellent haul there Andrew. Nice of that fellow to keep you in mind. I really don’t know how you actually resisted as long as you d...

Welcome back Kyle from N.E. Ohio.

12057dave

Very cool Joe. Almost a sister to mine that I had in the early 80’s. Had the luggage rack too. Mine was a ‘72.

12057dave

I always liked these guys. They had great harmonies too. Somewhat popular in the early 70’s. They were short lived as a duo. If you ever get a chance YouTube “Star”. Good song. We lost Gerry January 4 2011. Sorry for the repeat picture .

12057dave

Hello Melissa and welcome to the forum from NE Ohio. What a great piece of family history you have in relation to your Great Grandpa. I have my dads 1-63 228 lantern and a stove that was a part of the family during our camping years. Camping rubbed off on me and I still use both pieces. You get that...

12057dave

Good for you and the Mrs. Willy! That looks like it was a lot of fun! 63 years is pretty good run. Hope they keep it going

.

12057dave

Right there with ya Wayne. ALDIs is my wife’s primary shopping store. There’s not a whole lot I don’t like about them.

12057dave

That’s some pretty cool ingenuity there Mark! Cool!

12057dave

Don’t know how wide spread Aldi’s grocery stores go but the wife buys their brand. Millville brand I believe. Obviously an off brand but still not bad. And I just spent 53 smackers on 16 gallons of gas! Come on man!

12057dave

Great grab Jason. There was one like that on Facebook in Ohio. Around the Rittman area. Same price. Would that happen to be one in the same?

12057dave

Oh my Daryl!!

. That is hilarious. And yes. Ya got me too!

12057dave

Very nice collective score Matt. They all look in great shape! Congrats.

12057dave

RIP Dr. Johnny Fever aka the Dr. of Love. He will be missed

.

12057dave

Happy Birthday Will! And a great light up. That may be worthy of a “you suck”

.

12057dave

Maybe Jethro Bodines cereal bowl

.

12057dave

Wow Mark. Those are great pictures! Looks like you had a great day. Bright Sunshine and Snow pack. And hot soup and hot tea packed in thermos bottles. That is the bomb right there

. A nice hot lunch and tally forth. Thanks for sharing. I always enjoy everyone sharing camping and hiking pictures.

12057dave

Wow Brian! Great job! And thanks for the paint #. Good info to have.

12057dave

Hello Peter and welcome from Ohio. Great score on the Sears. Yep. You need to post more pictures

.

12057dave

Congratulations Stephen. It’s always a good thing finding your B-day lantern. Other than the decal she really doesn’t look that bad!

12057dave

Boy Jan! That looks like a lot of fun. Everything looks great from the breakfast on down to the Coleman equipment being used. Most excellent!

12057dave

Nice acquisition Erik! As was said. That looks like it ought to shine up real nice. Post an after picture please. Thanks!

12057dave

Welcome from Ohio Rusty! Great start you have going

.

12057dave

A giant incense burner?

12057dave

Congrats Bill! She looks like shes in pretty nice shape. The vent looks good!

12057dave

Nice score Craig! My first lantern short of my dads 228E was a Nickel 242C. Be careful polishing the Nickel. Most members will say to do it by hand. Mothers polish is a good route to go. Burn through is possible doing it by any other means. Take some before and after pictures and show it off. Congra...

12057dave

Welcome from Ohio Marc. Good to have you here. As John said. Build more shelves

.

12057dave

Yikes! Nice kitty kitty. Don’t spook the kitty.

12057dave

Holy smokes Matt! That’s a beautiful piece of Coleman history right there. Congrats on a great find!

12057dave

You have my sympathy and condolences Buckbrow. I know what you are going through. Lost my dad in ‘95 and still miss him. Got my 639 going for your father. May he Rest In Peace.

12057dave

Great looking case John! And that tranny is pretty sharp looking too

.

12057dave

Good for you! I found my first Sears not to long ago too. It’s a single. Yep. That ought to clean up nicely. Make sure you post an after picture when you get her shined up!

12057dave

Wow. I guess I didn’t even know she was sick. Never read anything about her being ill or anything. RIP Ms Spector. She will definitely be missed.

12057dave

What a great find Tristan! A great connection to your Grandpa! What a nice looking pair

. Sorry to hear about his passing.

12057dave

Hey Toby. Happy birthday to you!! Keep on fettling

12057dave

Great idea Timm! I’ve got a few extra 220’s on the shelf. I’m going to have to give that a go

.

12057dave

Glad to hear things are ok with you Dean! I can relate to the “young man in a wore out body”

. Take care Dean. And all of you folk that are dealing with frigid temps and Snow.

12057dave

Happy new year Joe! You’re killing me with that vintage craft

.

12057dave

Just sitting here on the patio as the rain falls. Don’t have anything unusual lit. Just a 2/66 228. But I like my “big hats”. Happy new year to all.

12057dave

Greetings from N.E Ohio! Nice start to an addicting hobby. Set a spell. And keep coming back now ya hear?

12057dave

Good for you Brett! The 220’s are a totally reliable lantern. I currently have around 11 or so of the 220’s in my collection. 1 mantle change in a years time. Excellent.
