He's a good source, and I have made a purchase from him, but most of my "wick" stuff is with W.T. Kirkman, down in San Diego County.

Two of my (many) favorites. Original Coleman 425 with original instructions and my $10 beater 220 with a busted globe that I run pump gas in. I paid $20 for the 425 and was delighted because it was in outstanding original shape, and even the original instructions were perfect and crisp. I have the instructions put away so they will remain in mint condition. Kept me fed and illuminated at deer camp!

Picked up this Enders alcohol stove a while ago. Judging by the green flame on initial startup, it has been a LONG time since its last run. Super simple, nice flame pattern, great flame adjustment, and you can use it indoors due to being an alcohol fueled stove. From the research I have done, it was intended for marine use.

Thanks for sharing, I've never seen one of those in person.

I see A SoCal G2G coming up next month.

It's really a neat thing. I use it quite a bit and I enjoy it. Too bad I am in far north CA or I would be there.

18 is the right number Justin, but be prepared to bring home 20.

I can't make it, so take some pics for us.

228H's

Tried my hand at a couple of customs, they're the wrong year for a gold bond, but kind of a fun color to mess with. Right is cub cadet, left is caterpillar.





How was the CCF G2G Justin?

May we assume that a firing will cause discoloration to the hats?

They are really, REALLY nice-looking!

Yes, the yellow vent will discolor. The black is high temp paint and has held up to 8 hrs on on other lantern.

Very nice, indeed!

(Does Missy know about all of this "foolishness"?)

Marge thinks it's all "sooo unnecessary".

VERY nice! You have now tempted me to find a lantern with bad paint and paint it up ford blue to match my truck.
