Sean from Southwest Chapter suggested I start the thread so we can all share our lantern collection here
I enjoy buying them, and repairing them
I also use them at the flea market on the weekends to set up.
Here are a few to get us started

I have hurricane oil lamps, and railroad lanterns too John, we can post them here too!

 

If you look on the bottom, on the left is the month, on the right is the year.

 

I have a few of the big hat ones in the barn . We use to fish with them glowing bright at night .
Been a while , tags on my boat ran out in 93 .Flat bottom , keep it at the pond behind the house .

 

I have a bunch of big hats in the shed. awesome amount of light, and the gas consumption is small.

 

When my Father got out of the army air corps , he went to work for a railroad . I will get some pics of the lanterns I have from the railroad .

Charlie, that's a great collection. I see you've got notes on them - good to convert those to .xls for future reference.

If you want to de-rust that Sears and put a new coat of paint on it, I can run you through the steps. Or keep as is for that well used look.

Here's the before/after on this

Stoves are fun too!

The sears has a few holes in the pot, so she'll be a shelf queen.
The blue "robot" from 48 is all apart now being restored.
I have more lanterns, but I didn't want to appear to be a hoarder

 

I only have these stoves so far

Yep, been in the same boat, repaired the rusted section with bondo and/or JB weld. Both have held up well under pressure. Wet spots is CF leaking out the rust hole.

I have a Coleman that has the same size pot, Generator is shot.
One day I may rebuild the sears out of that one

Getting parts lanterns is pretty easy at the flea market, the people see me using them, so they bring them to me to purchase from them
