Coleman Efficiency Lamp - overall 2
From the Dickenson County Historical Museum - another part of our delightful trip to Abilene. I hvae heard of and seen pictures of the Coleman Arc Lantern - but had never seen one in-person.
Coleman collecting is/was a pretty good part of my life - and this was a real treat to see. Not at all sure how it works - or even if this is assembled correctly or is even functional.
Update Jan 17, 2011
Guess I still have not seen an arc lantern as this is actually an "Efficiency" Lamp - in the style that inspired Mr. Coleman to buy the company and begin a wonderful journey bringing affordable light to millions worldwide. Here is some more info - info
