About Coleman
More than 100 years ago, a young man with an entrepreneurial spirit and a better idea began manufacturing lanterns in Wichita, Kansas. His name was W.C. Coleman, and the company he founded would change life in America. A man plagued with such poor vision he sometimes had to ask classmates to read aloud to him, Coleman saw a brilliant light in 1900 in a drugstore window that stopped him in his tracks. He inquired about the light inside and discovered he was able to read even the small print on a medicine bottle by the illumination. The lamps had mantles, not wicks, and were fueled by gasoline under pressure instead of coal oil. Soon afterward, Coleman started a lighting service that offered a "no light, no pay" clause--a big step forward for merchants who were burned by inferior products that rarely worked--and drew substantial interest from businesses that wanted to keep their lights on after dark.

In the ensuing years, Coleman expanded its product line well beyond lanterns. The company's current catalog is thick with products that make spending time outdoors a pleasure. There are coolers that keep food and drinks cold for days on end, comfortable airbeds that won't deflate during the night, a complete line of LED lights that last for years, powerful portable grills that cook with an authentic open-grill flame, and much, much more. Coleman has truly fashioned much of our outdoor camping experience, and expects to do so for generations to come.

This review is from: Coleman 12-Piece Enamelware Dining Set (Blue) (Sports)

I think in every Western there is a shot of guys sitting around a camp fire after a long day of riding/bulding a railroad/working a gold mine/robbing banks and trains/etc. In almost every shot, the guys are eating unidentifiable food off of blue tin plates. Well, you can't necessarily be in the movies, but you can have the plates.

This set consists of four plates, four bowls and four mugs. Each piece is very sturdy is enameled in that famous blue (or red) with white specks. Kind of like looking up at a clear night sky when you're out camping. The pieces are sized well and should hold up to a lot of use outdoors.

But here are the three reasons to get this set. First, the set is well made. You won't have to worry about sawing through your paper plate (and your leg), or your plastic plate flipping over. You won't have to worry about your hot coffee melting through the flimsy paper cup, or your half-eaten plastic bowl of cereal blowing away.

Second, hauling paper and plastic dinnerware to a campsite or a picnic site creates garbage. Garbage attracts pests and animals. Garbage stinks and creates litter. Garbage eventually has to be buried somewhere to rot, sometimes for hundreds or thousands of years. Or you could just use this set, wash it off and then use it again. Your call...

Third, it just looks cool. Plain and simple.

The bottom line is good value, good for the environment, good purchase for you!

This was a wonderful and sturdy set of dishes. Used it for 6 days of camping and enjoyed them every meal. Very strudy and wash up easily. Only issue was we chiped a mug when a metal handle fell on it. Need to be careful not to drop them on hard surfaces (metal, rock, etc) as they are porclein coated.

Still love the set.

These camp dishes from Coleman are exactly what you would expect. They are fairly lightweight, durable, and fantastic for camping. The price is more than half what the same type dishes cost at our local sporting goods stores.
