I like your Graham Industries TVr1a plant!

Looks like you collect Coleman lanterns? I have a collection (or at least several examples) of Coleman stoves.

Thanks fella's!

Yes, Stoker. That is why I disappeared from the Mamod forum a few years ago. My MIL gave me an old Coleman lantern and stove she had for decades. I had never seen one. I was blown away by how awesome it was, and immediately was smitten. I found a Coleman collectors forum and the hook was set! I started collecting and restoring lanterns, and a few stoves also. When I ran out of room to store everything, I went back to my primary hobby, radio control.

I will upload (tons) more photos to my host, and then will be able to really show off some of my stuff. ;)

Found I already had some folders on my host. Getting old sucks, lol...











That's it for now. I have to upload more files to my photo host. :)
