Did Coleman ever make a kerosene lantern that used a mantle? I have a
Coleman that is at least 65 years old and it uses white gas. I always
attached the mantle, burned it without the gas turned on and then used it.

in years. If I remember correctly, you were required to fire the mantle
before using it. The remaining material is stiff and brittle, but creates
the glow of the lantern.
