I still use my lanterns. My dad had an oil lamp fettish, lol. We would go to auctions and he would buy all that they had. I have some of them now. I love mine. my name is Susan from Georgia.
When I was a kid,we had several flat wick lanterns At our house, they were good for when we had A power outage, My Dad believe that you should always have At least two or three Handy, The lanterns Are beautiful, my favorite one that you showed is the gold colored one, thanks again for sharing RHETT!!☺️
I enjoyed this Rhett! As a child, my parents had a cabin in northern Mississippi, and it had no electrical power at all. It was definitely the definition of boondocking! The only light we had at night was kerosene lanterns! You tickled my childhood memories with this upload! thanks Buddy!
Loved both of your lamp videos brought back so many memories. When My Dad came back after WW 11 there was no work for the men and we had to move to a small Village and live in a old farmhouse with no electricity so we had lamps & i loved still do. My late Daughter had great collection of old Welsh miners lamps just like my Grandad used to use. Thank you so much for the lovely memories. I love your videos. Take care
I'm getting a moderate using collection of lanterns and lamps put together for emergency and outdoor use. Had a big ice storm years ago. Power out for over a week. Had Coleman type gas and propane lanterns in service then. Wick lanterns and lamps burning kerosene do have their place even in this modern age. In a protracted power outage they do a fine job. The fuel consumption is also reasonably economical too.
When I was a kid we had these in case we had to go down into the cellar when tornado's came and we were at Grandma's in West Texas. And later my Mom always had one around in case we lost power and couldn't find a flashlight that worked. I saw some for sale at the local Dollar General about 10 years ago so I had to pick it up, I think I paid $7.00 for it and about $3.00 for a container of oil for it. It's truly amazing how much heat those things put out when it's cold. Just last year here in Texas we lost power and it was -8° outside and I pulled out the oil lamp and sparked it up and it helped more than I thought it would.
I have had a really antique oil lamp for about 4 years now and never got to see it lit sadly but it’s Beautiful so I use it as decoration I hope to one day be able to use it for its intended purpose!!!!

I remember when I was little. Using one of them. This is a nice collection👍🤠
We always had the green Coleman lantern when we went camping.
my grandparents lived in western Oklahoma in the 1920s and used coal-oil lamps (kerosene ) for lighting. I Love the old days!
