And a Word from Big Jim

President's Message


Hello Everyone!

Our convention in Lexington, Tennessee is behind us now and we have next years convention in Wichita, KS in 2008 (home town of 107 year old Coleman Co.) It will be held on June 12th, 13th and 14th, 2008.

Tennessee was a great setting for the convention. There was one light up on Beech Lake with about 80 Coleman items being lit. Two “hollow wire fixtures” were lit for the very first time at a light up. Spectacular to see fixtures 100 yrs old still working. Another small light up at Robs house where he lit an Arc lantern. Rob Roberts did a fantastic job of hosting the convention this year.

We look forward to seeing everyone again next June. Wichita has a lot of great things planned for next year with a special light up! Watch the “Convention News” on this web site for more information.

If we happen to have a convention near your community, ALL are welcome to stop by and visit with us and see a little bit of everything that the Coleman Co. has made over the years. It may surprise you! There is also an auction on the last day that the public is welcome to participate in. If you’re interested in old Coleman come check us out!
