Todays Coleman Lantern - US ARMY !

[mojjax]

I got this one today . They were asking $25 - I offered $15 - SOLD . He said " I think it's from the 50's " I said , no , it's a 1966 - " How do you Know that ? " I said , I just read the date on the bottom .
Anyway , It is an Extra heavy duty Coleman . Army green , Spare parts are stored in a special holder in the tank , It doesn't have the typical globe - it has a quadrant globe . 4 curved glass pieces that slide into the quadrants , and they are extra thick , for " rough " use .
I don't know if I will sell this one - I like it too much !
And yes I checked the Coleman Forums , these were made to military specs . Very cool !

Nice. Looks unused by the parts bag in the fount. I'd have to keep that one myself just because of the military connection.
