I love hurricane lanterns as much as I do a good story, and if some forged iron gets thrown in the mix.... well, all the better!

When I ran across this unique bit of work, I wanted to make sure to collect the story so it wasn't lost to time. Far too often, we find contraptions like this on the table at a flea market or estate sale and scratch our heads trying to figure out what the item was meant to do, imagining all sorts of amazing possibilities. Sadly, most times the truth remains a mystery because the story wasn't kept.

This hanger shows great ingenuity. The design might be simple and the forging rather basic, but there's not a hint of wasted movement anywhere. After suffering a tragedy, the folks involved got to work making the best of their situation, and that attitude shows in the ironwork they produced. I can see me lighting the forge to make a few of these Yankton hangers to hang my Feuerhand lanterns in the shop. It'll be real nice to spend an evening in the warm glow of those trusty lanterns adding to the ambiance. "This handy holder was made in the 1900's in Yankton, South Dakota ~ after one of the Lumber Yards had a fire, which destroyed a large part of the inventory. The lumber yard tried to salvage merchandise & started making these lantern holders from the iron strapping that had formerly been used for strapping the old wooden wagons."

Our Christmas Fire

I was reading this scripture a couple of days ago: “Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles!” (James 3:5) It refers to the damage that our tongues can cause when we think the words we speak are simply inconsequential. But not so if those words cut to the heart and cause major damage to the receiver of those words.After reading…

WC Coleman patented the very first liquid fuel lantern way back in 1905, with a small base tank that was pressurized by using a hand pump. It offered campers a safer, more enjoyable experience, with brighter illumination and no sooty smoke.

This same principle is still in use today, with factory-pressurized fuel bottles replacing the pump. Over the years, battery-powered lanterns joined the mix and today utilize brilliant LEDs for exceptional energy efficiency.
