Told ya!!! Sprinkle a little salt on em.

You were right! I'll have to try that.

Oh man, those look so incredibly good right now!

On another note: if you ever have the chance to roast Chestnuts on an open fire this Christmas season, do it. You will not regret it!

They were great.

I've always wanted to try those, I'll have to put that on my list as well!

First the top link off a 3-pt hitch and now Coleman lantern mantles. Showing some cool stuff. I thought the lantern mantles were banned due to the radiation source these were. We used these as a radiation source in some equipment a few decades ago.

I’m not sure about the mantles. I just bought this lantern on eBay advertised as new old stock. I planned on using new mantles and just tucking these away. Are you saying the old mantles were banned?

The top link I found on my trailer after driving to work, I must have forgot I set it there.

The old mantels replaced, better term, due to being radioactive. The new ones use a different manufacturing process and materials. I miss old Coleman lanterns with the pump cap to pressurize the fuel.
Glad the top link did not fall off

Thank you for bringing that to my attention! I’ve got some interesting reading to do now.

I’ve been using battery lanterns for years but I miss the old pump fuel lanterns so I went looking for a good used one. I know I had a couple years ago but somehow lost track of them. They’re a great window to the past.

As a fairly rugged guy, certainly by today’s standards, I generally prefer to wear real pants. But, as a millennial I’m addicted to athleisure wear. The handkerchief has become my go to ‘tool roll’ solution. Keeps everythin from fallin out when I’m seated n from bouncin around when I’m movin. Haven’t lost anythin yet.

I agree. The light they give off seems brighter to me than a battery powered light. I have seen some older ones in really good condition in antique stores in the area. The booth owners knew what they had as the price reflected it.

I recall those western figurines. Somewhere there was a couple threads involving on going carvings.
