I was also born in the 60s. We have never had Coleman lanterns. We didn't even know they existed. We used wick kerosene lanterns, which we called "The Bat." In the 80s, I first heard about Coleman lanterns, and I really wanted to have one. But my country was not friends with the United States, and Coleman products were not supplied to us. The political situation has not changed today, but I have Coleman products. These are very good things, and I love them very much. They have a soul in them. I am very grateful to this company for giving people warmth, light and joy. With love from Russia!

I wish this shooting at each other crap would stop.

I agree with you, I have both old and new Colemans, in kerosene and white gas, and they all work great. There is just something about that sound, that smell, and that bright light that has drawn me like a moth to a flame, all of my life. Thanks for the great video.

When I was a kid back in the 60's we never lit our lantern with the chimney off. That's why there are the holes in the lower assembly to push the match through.

Like others have said here, I was born in the early 1960s, and grew up in Tornado Alley. We has wick oil lamps until about 1975 when we got a Coleman lantern. We had many nights under its bright light, and also at a lake, or the beach on Oregon vacations. Love that sound. In the mid to late 1980s with my own little family we bought a new model, and still keep it in ready to run condition in our garage. If you’ve ever been out of power for two or three weeks, you know why rechargeable LED lights aren’t the answer to everything!

I love the old coleman lanterns. I have several and used to have some really old one but lost them in a fire. I don't know when they started putting dates on them but some didn't have dates. My oldest now is early 60's. Most of them still work.

I've always been a single mantle guy. Seems to me a smaller overall size, when one mantle fails I have to shut down and replace both (I've NEVER replaced one without breaking the other, good on you), I assume a single uses less fuel and the double just doesn't seem "twice" as bright. I grew up "spinning" the generator prick. It's fun but not really necessary. One rotation will usually do it. Firing up an old Coleman is kinda like a Japanese Tea Ceremony. And I hear some folks pay money to get that Coleman "hiss" on their iPhones to help them sleep. Thanks for a great video.

The older model is superior for the simple reason that it uses graphite packing rather than rubber o-rings for sealing purposes. That old 220 is a workhorse.

The new lantern appears to have the mantels positioned higher than the old lantern, perched high and tucked snugly under the hood. The new orientation has advantages for seeing, based on the most common usage scenarios. However if you're looking for possums in the upper tree branches, it's distinctly less effective than the old design. For bank fishing at night, I like the new configuration.

I was in the Coast Guard in the mid 60’s. We had coleman gas lanterns aboard ship and regularly used kerosene in them. They burned hotter and were a bit harder to light. No other issues.

You did not cover a lot of things , First of all they both will burn gasoline as a last resort . The new lantern has a plastic pick up tube in it , that is why it has a heat shield in it . The older one has all brass valve and pick up tube , last longer . These will also light and burn when it is too cold for propane or butane . Older is better that is why so many around .

Not last resort... Gasoline is all I ever use in all my Coleman gear for 45 years.

The older version was a mainstay back in the day. Grandfather name uncles all had several of those.

I have 10 lanterns. Newest is 84 and oldest 53. Mantles have gotten expensive. They last longer on propane lanterns.

It's called a "Big Hat." If you want a tune to play along in your head when you fire it up and listen to the 'hiss' here's "The Man in The Big Hat" by Steve Fromholz, the 2007 Texas Poet Laureate. kzbin.info/www/bejne/onK1i5pjm995qpI&ab_channel=StevenSwinnea

W.C. Coleman had bad eyesight, so bright illumination was a personal crusade. While he lived (he died in 1957) and for some time beyond, the quality of Coleman products was unparalleled.
