Coleman 220K mantle lantern (1982)
I've had an interest in mantle lanterns ever since the excellent Technology Connections made a video series on them a few years ago. Let's take a look at a mint-in-box Coleman lantern, with some background on how they work.

    You can of course buy Naphtha from the Zippo company, but it costs a lot more than the Coleman can. However, Zippo do still sell those hand heaters (or did just a few years ago). So I imagine Coleman just wasn’t selling enough of them after those re-boil hand warmers got popular. Zippo’s target market seems pretty niche, at regular winter campers and various kinds of people with jobs in forests (like park rangers). Basically they try to sell at people who are tired of carrying potentially dozens of those boil-at-home hand warmers, and would rather just carry a can of Naphtha.

Every year on Victoria day long weekend in May the spring run high water carried our canoes 68km on the southwest Miramichi canoe run from Half moon up by Juniper to Norrad bridge down by Boiestown. These lanterns were the standard. Thanks for putting this together.

    I have two Coleman D-cell battery powered lanterns I run indoors. They both are designed to look like this liquid gas lantern, and even have the metal hanging loop at the top, but are safer. D-cell lanterns are very efficient. I can run it 6 hours every night and the 4 batteries last about a month and a half to two months of use. I seem to get 400 hours of useful light out of a single set of 4 D batteries when set on low. The models I have are: Coleman Classic 500 Lumens LED Lantern, and the Coleman 1900 collection D-cell lantern (which is hard to find, it's always out of stock, or maybe discontinued).
