	i didnt give much information about the arc lantern , they were made by coleman from 1914 to 1925 and called the #316 arc lantern . most folks think of coleman lanterns as camping gear ? but when these things were first made they wernt for camping , in fact they made lamps before lanterns and these lamps were to be used in your house so some of them are pretty fancy looking .... there are lantern collectors and then there are LAMP LOONS i fall in to the later category , i have lots of lanterns but the lamps are just beautifull , many of them used glass lamp shades and i love to find the old original glass lamp shades for my lamps here .... the break easy so i think you can imagine not many have survived ..... here is a link to some of my lamp shades .

	That's a neat collection and interesting history! I never knew that Coleman's started out as Home Lighting. I've always had a soft spot for Grease and Carbide Miner's Lamps.

	That's some cool stuff. I have a few lamps also. Not pressure lamps, but center draft and Aladdin kerosene lamps. Here's my Model B Aladdin hanging lamp. Model B is from the 1940's I believe. The hanging frame is for an older model of Aladdin lamp. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) Here's a Success vase lamp from around 1895. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) Here's a Bradley & Hubbard table lamp from 1904. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) Patent date on B&H lamp. (You need to *Login* to view media files and links) Also have a few Rayo lamps, a Plume & Atwood Royal lamp, and a couple of Perfection heaters. These lamps put out a lot of heat. You can warm a room on a cool night with one or two of them burning.
