I have a CLX/290, identical to the one second from the bottom right in soytnly's collection. I bought it a couple of years ago from a guy I work with for $15. I put new mantles in it and immediately noticed the reduced brightness as compared to the thorium mantles that were available when I was a kid. You can't beat a lantern for nighttime fishing. It makes a good all-around light and runs for hours.
I also have an Alladdin lamp that I have never used. It has a good wick and a NIB mantle. I have a gallon of oil and will be ready to use it if we have a power outage this winter.
