The skies opened, and it rained, Colemans.
Last saturday I decided to actually go look for a few sales to see if I could find any colomans my self. I been shopping ebay and craigslist for most of my coleman needs. I check craigslist friday night for garage and estate sale listing. Saw one that looked promising. One day only moving sale baby clothes , Blah Blah camping gear and a few lanterns and stoves. This looks promising I said. I got to the sale at 0900 to find these.

and to top it all off I need somthing to carry it home in.
A 1943 WWII Military foot locker $10. Someone painted the outside white but inside is still olive green and is dated.
The 220k and griddles are not in the group photo, but I’ll load a photo at the bottom.
Two nice things in the picture I bought off Ebay, the Coleman water jug Ebay May-1964 and the 502 single burner stove May-1964, ( ya B-day stuff ) Only reason I got them.
Stuff I got last month
The Coleman 5121 LP gas lantern is on the left and back of the foot locker I posted that before. There is a coleman 202 Jan-1960 ( nickel bottom one ) I paid $25 for off CL and like a bad blind date I had to buy their ugly friend as well for $25. Ruthless, The lady knew I wanted the 202 and would not sell it to me separately. All I got to ask is, Who is J. C. Higgins and why do I have his lantern. Also in the picture is a Northwest Territories propane lanterns $5 ebay and a Early Peerless folding propane lantern base $.75 ( in front of the rad case, local flea marked find ) I need a propane valve for a test.
I got another ebay win coming in soon and the 200a I traded for the 220k. When that come in I’ll post my Red boys and girls.
Ok pictures Overload.
I did leave at the sale a small 2 burner coleman stove, another stand and griddle. The guy told me someone just left and bought his Big Three burner stove 2 min befor I got there. Damn
