How a Coleman lantern is made.
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman. And the company he founded would change life in America.
The Coleman lamp was invented by 1909 and the famous lantern in 1914, and since that time more than 60 million of the lanterns have been sold throughout the world. Coleman is the market leader in lanterns and stoves for outdoor recreational use, and it has created a loyal consumer following for a broad range of insulated food and beverage containers, sleeping bags, backpacks, tents, outdoor folding furniture, portable electric lights, and other recreational accessories. The company’s Powermate unit produces portable generators and portable and stationary air compressors. Coleman also makes and markets book bags, backpacks, and related products under the Eastpak and Timberland brand names. Coleman products are sold in more than 100 countries worldwide, with international sales accounting for about one-third of overall revenues. Although its stock is publicly traded, the Coleman Company is controlled by Sunbeam Corporation, which owns 79 percent of the company.
The lantern is still made in Wichita, Kansas

i know im asking the wrong place but does anybody know of a method to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the password. I love any assistance you can give me.
@Emery Darwin instablaster ;)
@Watson Cade I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
These Coleman's will be around long after Amazon
Earliest camping memories are of dad lighting the coleman lantern and it lighting up the whole area. It always made me feel better. That signature smell and hiss of the lamp working too.
Thank you to all the men and women who have worked on the assembly line over the years, I appreciate what you do.
Still make in America and made to last unlike most things today thanks coleman keep up your craftmanship it shows in your product!!
Wow, I worked in a metal stamping plant that had been there since 1902. Lots in common with manufacturing these lanterns. Real men and women made these products. What a wonderful company
Thanks Coleman for a lifetime of memories. Coleman defines the USA.
Made in Wichita Kansas USA, They can be found pretty cheap used, but often need cleaning and minor repairs. Propane and now LED had taken over the game. Coleman white gas /camp gas is hard to beat .
I have 5 of the newer Northstar Propane models that I used when I was an Asst. Scoutmaster and 4 of the old white gas models from 70's to the late 80's. I prefer the white gas models. Probably just nostalgia but I love the smell and the hiss of the old lanterns. My 1972 lantern reminds of camping as a kid with my family and catfishing at night with my grand parents. I'm so glad that Coleman keeps making replacement parts.
So awesome to see the pride in craftsmanship of a company endure the test of time.
I just bought one in an antique store in Ireland. It’s dated 1----73. Made in Canada. By the condition of the lamp I think it was only lit once before. It’s perfect. In the box with spares & instructions. It even has a warranty slip stamped with a number of the person who did the final inspection before shipping. I collect lanterns and have a lot of other makes but if I were going camping then it would be the Coleman. I just know it’s going to work. Thank you Coleman.
I've had mine for 40 years. My son just bought one for himself remembering the fun he had as a boy using these lanterns.
I have 2 of my dads old Coleman's. Over 40 years old. And a Coleman stove. All still work.
I've got the one my parents used when we would camp from around '79 or '80. Still works well and holds pressure. I even have the box it came in. I also have the Coleman stove we used for camping. Both excellent products
What I like about Coleman they stand behind their products LOVE COLEMAN
A fabulous invention that created untold numbers of great memories 😃👌❤️❤️❤️
I saw a useful tip online the other day. It was suggested to put a few turns of electrical tape on the bail where it hits the fount. That will stop the bail from dinging the piant every time you set the lantern down and the bail falls over.
I've used Coleman all my life....55 years...👍👍
I just bought a 45 year old Coleman. I use it every week. Top Quality lantern.
Coleman has always been a sign of quality for us Brazilians, it is a pity that the company here in Brazil leaves much to be desired, coleman USA has no idea of the outdoor potential that is Brazil, this type of flashlight is the consumer dream of many Brazilians passionate about the Outdoor life, Coleman would revise its concepts and send more products to Brazil
I have a lot of them and they all work. Can't pass one up at a yard sale. My favorite is the 228 big hats! The oldest one I have is a 54. I took a couple of them to boyscout camp and the other parents wonder if they would even work. When I fired them up and lit the whole camp up they loved it. Now when we need light at outdoor facilities they look at me for lanterns and a stove for coffee.
Wicked! Love coleman lamps and stoves. 💝
I have 5 Coleman lanterns & 1 Coleman stove, all purchased from 1980 to 1991. They all still work. I had to send my model 275 (purchased in 1983) back in 1994 due to it flooding when I went to light it. Coleman fixed it for a dirt cheap price & sent it back in record time. Needless to say, I’m very happy with my Coleman lanterns & stove.
Coleman definitely contributed to my enjoyment of the outdoors.
I just got my 220 F Use Generator lantern at an auction for $15.00 on October 21, 2021! Hardly used, 6 220F 67 on bottom & I'm in love, named it Howie! Needs to be cleaned internally. Has the Pyrex globe too! I also have 2 propane Coleman lanterns! Love that green!
I just bought one of these. So awesome. They're still MADE in the USA!
No much noise when camping. Hear the night... Go Solar!
Yeah ? made in the US? probably costs a months salary!
@@ahsansiddiqui4263 if 100$ is a months salary, you must be homeless...

“Hear the night....Go solar!”
Says the guy who doesn’t know what time of day the sun shines.
One of the most american companies! Still stand by their products today!
It's a wonderful feeling when you get one you feel like you want to go camping of go outside to turn it on ,I have 5 when the power went out my neighbors were using flashlights and I was using my Coleman lantern and they were wondering why I had do much light.
I have a red 200A that I bought (I'm guessing) in the early 80's. Used it a few times then put it away in the red plastic Coleman case I had bought especially for this lantern. It's been stored for about 33 years but I got her out, added some fuel and she started right up with the original 33+ year old mantle. Looks and works like new. Thank you for preserving knowledge.
please never stop making them ... ! they awesome.
They used to use Thorium in the mantles years ago. They switched to Ytterium because it wasn`t radioactive.
I've got a 50's stove and lantern and a newer multi-fuel stove and a kerosene lantern and the work as good as when they were made. Will always remember the hiss the lanterns make. Thanks, Coleman for FINE products! And Brandmade for showing!
I sold these for over a decade nice to see the rest of the story on how, where and the history.
1 bought a lantern when i was 18, im 46 and still use it regularly. Now i have 3 lamps.2 vintage, the one i bought and a 3 burner and 2 burner stoves and today i just got a catalytic heater off e bay. They all reside in my homade camper now and get used all the time. Still american made and still the best camping option out there.
i remember when i was a young boy in texas my granpa always had 2 in his home and when he used to take me hunting he always used it
My best memories were those of the late 50s and 60s growing up and going camping during the summer and Dad pumping up and starting the Coleman lanterns and stove! I wouldn’ trade those memories for anything! Coleman made in America and making memories world wide!
Picked up a 1970 220F at yard sale, works great for hunting season and power outages.
I think everyone should have at least one of these and a good supply of fuel and mantles, and be familiar with how to use it. A stove that runs on the same fuel as your lamp is a good thing to have on hand as well. A very simple step every household can take for disaster preparedness as well as recreation. I think after the recent situation in Texas we can see the utility of a non-electric light that can run on a variety of fuels (gasoline, white gas, and even clear kerosene) that puts out a large amount of light as well as quite a bit of heat. I've rarely had to use these indoors in emergencies so always be mindful of ventilation and have a working battery powered CO detector. I've never had a coleman lamp set one off although you can smell it running a little.
i love them keep making them please and bring back the big 3 burner stoves
I have a 3 burner 426 I got for $20 years ago. We have big off grid RV trips with family and friends and that stove always comes through to tackle the big meals!
I have an old three burner stove. Someone stole the brass fuel tank. Now it just sets in my storage shed.
@@fperry8613 you can properly get fuel tank at oldcolemen parts .com site was down this week as there doing maitance
I love collecting vintage Coleman lanterns 😁
Cool! So do I! I have over 12. Mostly 242's, and 200(A)'s a few 236's, 321B (my first), 335, and one 1952 milspec.
Yeah I have a few 200A,s and my baby 238B
I have a giant collection of all things Coleman!
I own 4 and love them... still collecting them.
I love these i was in mexicali when the 7.2 earthquake hit the city turned the power to check lines for 2 or 3 days it was really dark at night one neighbor had one and it lid his whole house after that i started buying them cant pass them at garage sales
coleman lanterns are just the best.. I've had a few over the years and never let me down.. so reliable.. you can stick yer new fangled lanterns that take batteries . old stuff are the best.. better built and reliable..
I love this….I live in the capitol city of Kansas and will soon be driving to see the Coleman factory and museum.
I've got half-a--dozen of them in the garage...only one right now without a broken globe...but not counting the glass and the mantles (they become ash, after all) I don't think I've ever broken one, and they always have worked for me...just clean fuel, and a few pumps...great tools that are dependable! Now, if metal things would quit hitting them in the truck bed, and breaking the globes! ;-)
There are protective cases for most models. They protect the glass and they keep dirt daubers and spiders out of the lantern.
I rescued a broken 288 from a street market in TJ 10 years ago, and just bought a 'Deluxe' propane lantern too.
The new one is made in Taiwan, but still appears to be a quality build. Fired up effortlessly! Looking forward to many years with both!
I'll give my money to any company that still provides parts and stands behind their craftsmanship!
I've used Coleman products for work and play for over fourty years, I have 15 lanterns, oldest is a 1949 228d... Works still. Found it in the dump with a near mint 1959 200a, that works too, they all work! My wife just bought me a new 639 c. Never had a brand new one before.
I cant believe why anybody would throw one of these old lanterns away, I'd love to have another 200a while there are people throwing them away like do they even wonder if it has any value
I’ve got a couple dozen. You can pick them up cheap if the paint is rough and clean them up and repaint. The thing to watch for is the top vent for damage, they are porcelain coated and can’t be easily refinished.
Wonderful video, thank you. I had a small collection of gas lanterns a few years ago....wish I still had them...great fun.
My grand dad gave me his
Still works great.
This is one of the best things I’ve seen in a while!
I have to ask. Why are the globes not made by Pyrex anymore? These made in china ones crack when will sometimes crack while the lantern is on!
I'm frying some chops on my old 1970s Coleman stove right now.😋
Are the chops from 1970 too. ;)
I love coleman lamps and stoves since the 60s
Nice! I just rescued one built in the early 1960's.
that was cool I've owned at least 1 Coleman lantern since the 1960's
Don't have a lantern, but I do a 1974 508 single burner stove with mess pot / case and it's awesome.
Love it! God bless William Coffin Coleman.
Nice. I'm a Coleman collector!
I have several. The oldest was made in '61. It still works great. How many other products last that long?
Maybe axeheads?
O why why I thought they only made the coolers here I guess they make the lanterns here as well. That's awesome I live here in Wichita ks
thank you for making this one
I just got one for fishing. I’m so hyped
i have a few old lanterns and stoves and love them all but the only 2 complaints i have are these. 1 the new mantles dont burn as bright and 2 the fuel price but other than that they still work great!
AWH use peerless mantels instead
I do have peerless mantles now love them
yep peerless is the only way to go
How much are you paying per gallon for the white gas fuel in your area now?
@@mainelyelectric i get the crown brand at walmart for about $8.00 a gallon can. the coleman brand is between $12.00 and $14.00 a gallon can. i still remember when it was $1.50 a gallon for coleman fuel back in the 90`s
Good old Coleman !
1500 a day back then. This year we will only make 1500 or so. It's crazy to me that I'm the one to make everything that goes into the Wichita made lantern and stoves except the fuel subassemblies or plastic parts. I even paint everything too now that our painter retired.
Dad use to fish Paulina Lake, Oregon where we visited Coleman family members, did you Colemans remember fishing from Paulina Lake cabin?
Myn is 10 years old still works perfectly every summer.
Maintain the spectacular job !! Lovin' it!
Hope this is one of the companies that continues making their lamps in the USA.
My 1953 Model 200 still burns bright.
It's always been Coleman green -except when it was Coleman red, or sears blue or sears gold or Coleman tan
You know what'd be nice? A gas lamp that took normal lighter fluid, and didn't need mantles. Maybe switch to wiremesh over glass, too.
You can get a mesh "globe". I have a couple. Good thing about them, they don't break with a little abuse. Bad thing, not as much light. But not enough difference to worry about.
I have one from 79', 82', a newer one that sits atop a 1lb propane bottle, and a 502 single stove,
I owned a red one.
mine is Red too, and made in Canada
Gotta Get One!
old school the best
How much extra would it cost to make stainless steel founts? They’d be awesome
We used to, before my time.
eveybody should buy one it's usa made and you'll bever know when you'll need one ,but the most important thing is uas made
the Canadian built ones are better.
1:43 😊
Coleman USA have sold out of lanterns... how is this possible?
7:28 Eric Cartman uses a Coleman!
lol Nichole, Eric, Kyle, and Clyde went camping an brought their Coleman :)
How petromax lanthern ale made?
Magdeburg Germany
Damn I think Coleman stopped making these. You can still get the Dual Fuel, but not these specific models.
not only dual fuel: i buy a new Coleman kerosene
You can still buy these standard dual mantle lanterns (288s), but you’ll have to check with certain retailers, not sure if you can still get them on amazon. You can always check specialty stores like leacock coleman center or your local Coleman outlet store if you have one nearby.
proof that the mantels shouldn't cost a quarter of what the lantern does.
Oot! And aboot!
Loved my coleman lamp but those mantels were so delicate. Knock the lamp too hard and the mantel will be a puff of chalky dust.
Awesome video! How can I order a coleman lantern from outside U.S?
Hi Murad, maybe try checking with Coleman? www.coleman.com/
Thanks a bunch.
Every one should buy one , they're USA made and they last for ever and you'll never know when you may need it , it's America's history that you can hold in your hands and can get you out of bad situation .
oldest one i have is 65
its missing a 3 cent plastic tube from the handle so it not nick of the paint...brainers !
Coleman has hit rock bottom!!! Closing the factory in Kansas with all the history and putting people out of a job. Coleman products have been declining in quality. I own many old Coleman products from the 1940s to current. Many top products like exponent have been discontinued.
In a final blow all the factory stores have closed
The best ones WERE made in Canada
Very true.
What made them better??
For Me it's Coleman or nothing..!!
I have 3 that don't work😭😭😭
Easy to fix if you know which parts are bad. Not many parts to replace.
TOM PIPPS FOAM- BATON ROUGE LOUISIANA USA HIK HELLO &
Are all Coleman lanterns made in USA?. I got a Coleman North Star and it stated it is made in China. Very poor quality.
The liquid-fueled lanterns are USA made. Is your NorthStar liquid-fuel or propane? In the video you can see the liquid-fuel NorthStar founts with the other traditional-styled ones.
Sadly, lanterns like this are just about a thing of the past. Even propane lanterns are rarely ever used anymore. Wasn't long ago that when you went to a sporting goods store like Academy, you saw a whole aisle of gas or propane lanterns. Not anymore. You might find a few lanterns sitting somewhere in the camping section. But battery and solar powered lights have taken the place of this piece of History. As an avid camper myself, it's been years since I've used any kind of Coleman lantern. I still have four of them sitting, being unused. I just can't bring myself to get rid of them.
Batteries are more convenient
I've never seen a battery powered lantern put out near as much light, though.
Battery-operated lanterns take away from the fun of camping and also fluorescent or incandescent bulbs attract mosquitoes and other insects more than the gas Coleman lanterns. I use oil hurricane lanterns and Coleman gas lanterns when I go camping but I do have flashlights just in case and I do use a battery operated Lantern made by Coleman for inside the tent.
