Yes, I realize it's strange to promote a "non-electric" catalog here.

This catalog is a throwback to the makers of yesteryear. Some people never stopped doing things themselves.

Their catalog is hard to put down--their inventory includes cast iron cookware, kerosene lanterns, CARBIDE lamps (how cool is that?), wood-fired kitchen stoves, handmade wall-clocks, apple-peelers, and old-fashioned candy and toys. More then 100 tools. They sell booklets detailing their inventory of hundreds of parts for all sorts of projects.

Great source for camping, off-the-grid living, or old-fashioned goods.

Lehman's is located in the heart of the Ohio Amish country. Many items are handmade by local Amish craftspeople. There are only a handful of electric items in the entire catalog.
