Being in SD, I dropped by the W.T. Kirkman storefront in Ramona, CA a couple years back just to do the touchy feely thing with kerosene lanterns after we had an extended power outage here. We did fine with what we had at the time, but I wanted another option for light. I picked up a nice brass Dietz Original #76 for my other half because it looked so good. At home it worked great and looks great -- it stays out where it can be used quickly if needed.

For longer term, I also bought the Kirkman No. 350 "Little Giant" which from what I read is a design based on three earlier lanterns. I liked it because it had an oversized kerosene tank and is galvanized steel. It looks okay (it doesn't stay out like the brass #76), but it's primary attribute is an advertised 40 hour burn time. Naturally, since that outage they haven't been needed.

Now that Feuerhand lanterns have been mentioned I may run back up to Ramona and check them out.
