I'm building a plywood transport box for my dad's 228C lantern, a big hat so it is a pretty large box. I need to paint the outside and I'm wondering what color to paint it---Coleman Green? GI Olive Drab? Something else?
I'm open to suggestions.

To my eye, the Matching box with the lantern is a good look. You could even get a Colman logo sticker and dress it all the way. http://www.oldcolemanparts.com/home.php

Cool idea! I needed to order blue felt for the fuel filter funnel anyway. Thanks!

We of course will need to see pics of the project and completed box

I used the 200As again last Saturday. Had some folks over for burgers and dragged out the telescope for Jupiter viewing. Good times.

This made me wish I bought that red globe last year.

There's a Coleman meetup about an hour from my house this summer that I may attend.

Nope, wrong month. Just a good deal.

So I'm thinking, why am I keeping two Coleman lanterns and three Coleman stoves?
I ought to just keep my dad's stove and lantern and pass on the rest.
I can't imagine finding uses for all this stuff (as delightful as it is!)

I just enjoy using them in rotation. Don't "Need" them, but last time I tried to give one to my son, he told me he didn't want anything that used anything besides propane to operate.

I found a Coleman heater for $10. It looks like this:

Great score!

I went to see a heater 2 weeks ago, but it was in really poor condition and they guy wanted $60 and wouldn't budge...

I hope that she works. I am going to try the denatured alcohol method for cleaning it. It is something like this:

Now you have to share the story...details

It filled the tent with fumes from burning kerosene.
"If you want to kill yourself, you sure as hell ain't taking me with you" as I gathered up my sleeping bag and made a hasty exit.
The dude soon emerged coughing and agreed to turn off that infernal device or I would have had to go back and drag him out of that tent.

Not a fan of Coleman heaters, am I.

I still intend on a fancy woodworking project for a big hat lantern case one day, but I will tell you that you can wrap a towel around the middle of the lantern and store/transport in a five gallon bucket with a lid.

That is how mine have been stored for years; there is room for funnel, parts, mantles and such also.
