I mess with mostly "Barn Lanterns"......I'm up to 40-odd now.
The best modern rendition is the Kirkland #2. Pretty expensive for a oil lantern at $95.00 but for safe indoor lighting it's hard to beat. I found two (never fired) at a yard sale for $5 bucks each.

LOL....I have a West German .mil wooden box that held 6 of them in their own compartments, they were in use into the 1980s.
Barn lanterns are pretty cool. So are Coleman lanterns, I refurbish a lot of those things. The early 200A single-mantle Coleman lanterns in minty condition are still bringing ridiculous prices on Ebay...
