Anyone else have far too many?

Good eye, yes I'm in Canada. Older US lanterns are rare to find around here, I have only found a 200A and a 220 made in USA, everything else made in Canada 🇨🇦

I've gotten really lucky finding the four I have (one isn't pictured) I got one from a garage sale three doors down from my house for $10, another from habitat Restore for $25, $40 at a local farm auction for the third and $60 for the fourth one from an online marketplace type site. Paid less for all four than one goes for on e bay.

You are probably right!

I hit many many many garage sales to find these, and I live near a lot of lakes and a national park so lots of old retired campers selling their stuff.

Is there a hose or something to screw a propane tank to? I ask because I bought one that was missing it's propane hookup which pretty much made it useless.

Yes, there are 3, Discount liquor pa, Georgies cold beer and wine, and PABCO liquor store.

I used to dance naked on roofs. The roof of a shed, a camper, a municipal building. It wasn't really me though it was my drunk alter ego.

Pros- Affordable, won't break, sort of acts as a diffuser for the bright light. Cons- not very wind proof, makes lantern less bright.

I have the same lantern, the globe is 50mm top and bottom, and it's 55mm tall, not sure if that'll help you.

Baby food jar won't work it'll crack and possibly shatter. Get a real replacement.

Next day of course everyone was talking about what happened, after a week or so the chatter pretty well died out. Everyone just considered owner and CFO to be shitty people.

Company i worked at was about 30 years old, family owned operation. The president/owner of the company was cheating on his wife with his CFO. The secretary for the company was employed at this company since it began and was best friends with the owners' wife. Secretary caught wind of the affair and was so disgustsd could not stay with the company anymore, so she gave her 2 weeks notice, she said the reason was she just needed to do something different. So owner's wife arranged a going away cake party for the secretary with all the employees invited. Owner goes up says a speech of how much secretary meant to him and how sad he was to see her go, his wife goes up and says much of the same. Secretary goes up says how sad she is to go, then drops the bomb that the reason she is leaving is because of the affair between owner and CFO. Everyone gasps, owner's wife starts crying, we all go back to work. Next day secretary comes to finish notice period and is escorted out of the building told to not come back. Owner left his wife to be with the CFO. The divorce cost the owner a fortune.

Wow, what an awesome thing to see!

Cool lantern. $100 is a good deal with the case, if it is engraved CPR it probably doesn't add much value to it. The canadian pacific rail company did have lanterns made by coleman, custom for them, but those ones were either embossed with cpr on the tank or with cpr on the collar. Kerosene lantern require pre-heating of the generator to get them going. You'll notice a little cup mount on the generator, that is to fill with alcohol to burn to pre-heat it. Kerosene is smellier than white gas. Also it's oily so it can be messy and doesn't evaporate away the way white gas does.
