    When you did turn them off they still burned long enough to get to the bunk!

    Lots of nostalgia in this thread premise.

    I'll take LEDs for tracking, thanks.

    Found these old pre-Coleman oil lantern at an old logging camp. Not much left but you can still see the Beacon logo.

    Yes, I agree, much better choices out there nowadays.
    I use a rechargeable Miners lamp! 14 to 16 hour charge.

    Next year I will probably give away one lantern, cause I have 3 and I have two Coleman stoves so give one of those away to. Local only.
    But can't give them away until I clean up and then it I will put them on here for young new to camping. People on here have given me stuff in the past and I always believe in contributing back.

    What's old is new again ? LoL ! Wish I could say that about myself.... LMAO ! There is something about those lanterns , as already stated, the hiss and smell and warmth they give off not to mention the amount of light they give too. Kinda like Zippo lighters... never really go out of style and works when most new stuff doesn't.
    Good Luck & Good Hunting !

    Like my dad says. They use to make things to last back in the day. Now things are made to break so consumers go back and buy it again.
