Light up time! First of the Kerosenes to be lit, by me at least.

I have not. Got caught up in a bunch of other stuff recently.
How clean do you need it? Painted or nickle? I've had several offers, haven't talked priceline yet..
Looking for a painted one. I'm just looking to build a runner, not a show piece. As long as it's mostly green and clean inside, I'd be good with it.
Right on, I'm in the same boat. I'll keep an eye out for something affordable that'll work. The OCP website has a nickle one right now for 32$ so I'm hoping I can pick a cpl up around the 20$ price point..
Lemme know what you find!
So.. got a cpl that may work, if you can handle a dent or drill out a cpl new screw holes.. Lemme know and I'll see what he wants for them. He's got a nickle one that I'm going to ask about. 
I inquired yesterday about all three, telling him I was torn on picking a green one. Waiting on a reply. I'll let ya know, probably today sometime.
NO! Wait a sec.. I found your fix, it's bound to work, right?
Look how BIG it is.. Oh my.
The Spring Coleman gathering was a hit even tho the weather didn't cooperate! Two days of wind driven rain but hey, that's why we play with storm proof, gas powered appliances!
Picked up a Solar LED Lantern from Costco awhile ago.. Tossed outside.. fully charged.
( DURACELL 2000 Lumen Power Outage LED lantern, )
So Lets test it..
Plugged in my Cellphone Dead taken about 3.5 hours To fully charge..
Has USB ports for Charging and Charging Lantern with shore power.
Lantern started at 5 Blue lights. Ended with two Blue lights indicating charge remaining.
Sat in sunshine for two days.. Up to 3 Blue lights out of 5.. 3 Days in sunshine should Fill Battery Tanks. Should??
Okay not really made for charging things, like it said was. But if power is out and sun is shinning With Sunshine in high orbit.. Yea got no choice and time. ;-). Winter When sunshine is lower in the Hemisphere ( Earth is not FLAT!!). Solar sucks.
Had to try it.. Do have other means of Lanterns.. Like Fossil FUEL. 100% works!!. ;-)

Cool, haven't seen those before. They're trying to get away from white gas.

Would be great for a Gift. three days in sun.. 4 Bars.. gave up.. Plugged it into shore power. Solar panel is great for looks not real world use. Unless stuck on Little island..
Will test at camp.. See if it survives.. Not worthy of having.. if gonna use it in real world use..
1930's Prentiss Waber L43-PA. Found at estate sale for $22! Came with an original Coleman amber globe, not original to this lantern. Needed a Lye solution tank flush, gen, fuel and air tubes cleaned out and the valve needed attention but she runs great now!
Sept 1951 Christmas 200A! Scored off Marketplace. It's the last 200a I needed to complete my collection. Perfect flawless vent, sunrise globe, original paint in good shape, ok label~
Asking 50, I gave them 100 to ship it to me minutes after they listed it states away. Didn't realize how good of shape it was in till it arrived. I'm happy.

That was the last one I needed too, besides the '51 Christmas. I almost got with you on another greenie but I couldn't get an air problem figured out so didn't want to pass on a problem child to you.
They come up every so often on my club sites so I'll keep my feelers out for ya~
