saturday, as always i went out rummaging. didnt hit a thing all morning and was about to give up, but i decided to hit one more sale on the north side of town. i walk in and i ask if they have any Coleman lanterns or stoves, and the guy reaches up on a shelf and pulls down a 228F, and then behind that, he pulls out a 228K in a metal case, then he pulls out a 425E and 502 and a full gallon of fuel, and 11 mantles. he says give me $20 for all of it!!! then, at a sale that i happen to see on the way home, theres a 220J, in a factory sealed box. NEVER OPENED! $10! it was a good day rummaging!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

Update: I opened the box and it turned out to be a 220H from 6/75.

Youre right Mark, they are 228's. Either a typo or was thinking of the 220J when i wrote it.
PS, the 220J turned out to be a 220H from 6/75! 8)
