Coleman Lanterns for $8 a Piece: It all started in 1999

A brief introduction to how Frank got started on his Coleman Journey in 1999. Taken from the "How Long will it Burn on a Single Tank of Gas" video, he shares many of his Coleman stories while timing an entire tank burn of two 200A Coleman Lanterns.

I will use this video in an effort to convince my wife I’m not THAT crazy.

1995. I was 10 and camped with my parents all the time. My dad used two propane lanterns but he has a 220e and a black band 200a. And I wanted to use them because they were different from what everyone else had. They needed work so that’s what started it. Now I have about 30 lanterns and 15 or so heaters, stoves, white gas, gasoline, kerosene. Thermos, ash flash, JC Higgins. Still going

I love hearing how you got started. So then you started restoring them, and selling them on EBAY? Are you still running an EBAY store or is all through your website now?

Awesome!
On top of that, thank you for so much help to your “like addicted” followers.
These are fascinating devices, elegant in their simplicity, frustrating in their nuance.

That’s about the time my dad got started. I would bet he bought several from you, and used your website pretty regularly.
