HOW
do you play, dance,
talk, and even fight with your old colemans? There could be millions of
old coleman enthusiasts around the world. I do enjoy old coleman with
a variety of ways. Lighting old coleman lantern is NOT one of the ways
of "Dancing" with them. This is just how they are used. Let's
get share more fun articles!

Special! "Hidden" Collections
Hot
and Hot "Yaki Venti"
Have you
ever tried to observe how your old coleman's ventilator will change
its color? Since I noticed it's kind of fun, I always watch them until
they get extremely Hot and Hot. The RED venti will become the real
BURGUNDY. I
coined "Yaki venti" with no specific reasons. "Yaki"
means "Baked" in Japanese. Guess eveybody understands why I
call it "Yaki".

Operational Suggestions
For Lanterns:
Use clean, unleaded gasoline fuel. Of course, Coleman fuel is the best
choice and it gives you trouble-free operation for long long time.
Also, always be sure to use Coleman mantles which are exclusively made
for Coleman lanterns. All well-balanced size, sharpe, material, and "American
craftman ship" guarantee your Coleman lantern's the brightest candle
power. Now that this question is asked. Why they are called "The
Sunshine of The Night"....? You bet!
Operational
Suggestions
For stoves: Use cllean, unleaded gasoline fuel. Of course, Coleman fuel
is the best choice and it gives you trouble-free operation for long long
time. You may need "pre-heating" your stove's generator if you use them
under extremely cold weather. I have never done it. Oops.. ! I did it
once before for 530 GI stove.
How
often oil pump leather cup?
Coleman suggests "At
least twice a year". That't it?.... Yes, that's it! You can use Coleman
rubricant but also you can use Clean motor oil, too. I heard that
one of Coleman lovers used motor oil from his own car's engine. Of course,
this was an emergency thought. Believe or not.
How
can I store my old Coleman?
I would say "it
depens". Coleman quite often mentions "emptied" fuel when
it is not used and store cool area. However, some old articles said "fill"
the tank with clean fresh fuel. I prefer to "fill" the tank
with a lot of fuel. Why? Guess what.

Why you collect
old Coleman?
Quite honestly, I don't know why. Even I have never think about it. How
about you? As a matter of fact that this question has been asked by my
wife over and over. I hope she finds an answer some day. Now. Why you
started collecting old Colemans and when?
Finding old
Colemans now and past
Well, this could be hard to answer to let you know WHERE ,WHEN, HOW, and
those types of specific questions. Let's say about 7-8 years ago, 200A,
202, 242*, and many others were every where. Now ..... Uhhhh (deep breath).
Seriously, I was not pay attention to any "JUNK" Colemans a decade ago.
What is going on my garage now?
What would you like to say
for this one? "JUNK" or "COLLECTIBLE" ?
Do you think
that you quit collect old Colemans?
That's good question. I really like that. Answes
may vary. For exaple, if I had a lot of money, I possibly would
quit collect old Colemans, but I don't think I quite use them. As a real
human, I might be lured by classic cars, Italian cars, or something like
that.
What is your
dream ?
My dream.....? I am always dreaming! Seriously,
I am dreaming of traveling with an old Coleman camping trailer to visit
places where I could find old Colemans. Oh, boy...I am crazy...
My history for collecting
old Colemans: I
would say that I was NOT collecting any old Colemans. I was just
using them for camping, fishing, and family activities. The biggest
turning point was that being a member of mountain climbing club when
I was in high school, I believe.
At that time, Swedish stoves like phoebus, primus, and SVEA were more
popular than Coleman to me. Time after time, outdoor boom was coming
to me around middle of 1970's to 1980's. The Sierra parkas, 40/60 (60/40?)
down jackets, and other outdoor related equipments were aroud me all
the time. Yes, sure. Coleman lanterns and stoves were also with me.
It's been over 35 years since I used the first Coleman and maybe 15
years since I started collecting old Colemans for my own sake.
"What
are you dreaming, son?"
I have
never thought buying any expensive arts. I go to used book stores instead
to find old Coleman ads. Be careful, they are sometimes very fragile
just like a pie.
"What
would you expect?"
New never
opened box is my hope always. What things do you want to see when you
open the box of old Coleman?
