I almost bout 3 or 4, even though I only need 2. Such a deal.
Just ordered one!
Never messed with Coleman lanterns, but used to have a couple of the old railroad lanterns with the wick and oil that we had to use during the big ice storm about 15 years ago in Missouri when power was out for a week. Only problem was the only oil I had was the citronella for the tiki torches.
Bright side no skeeters!

I still like the wick lamps especially the hurricane types.Just ordered one!
Price of a gallon of white fuel shocked the **** out of me today! Mantles too!
Dual fuel... Has anyone here actually used gasoline in one of these lanterns? I can't imagine putting one of the most volatile flash over fuels in a lantern and then lighting its vapor.

I was wondering the same thing today while looking for white gas and oil lamp oil.
I know there are people on Coleman collectors forum that have dedicated lanterns they use nothing but gasoline in. Aka RUG. Regular unleaded gasoline. As a kid I used gasoline in the lantern but it clogged the generator . But it was still leaded gas back then. Spent a lot of nights sitting on the rip rap on lake dam fishing with a Coleman lantern. And they attract snakes, rats and bugs galore.
Bungee cord around the case. Problem solved.
