The differences between a vintage 1967 and a newer 2001 Coleman Lantern. Includes a mantle change.

This video compares a 1967 and a 2001 Coleman Lantern. It also shows you how to find the date on your lantern. Besides being two different colors, the vintage is built more ruggedly. The newer one is perhaps a bit brighter, and has the ability to burn two different types of fuel. They both use #21 mantle. One new mantle after the initial burn had a tear in it. I was able to replace the mantle. They both work fine. It's good that Coleman continues making hard working camping equipment for those of us who like to camp.

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.

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.

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 .

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

Thanks for the video. How long does it take to pump it again? Mine doesn't last long.
