garage sale score

[Hunterbug]

Yesterday I was leaving a buddies place on my way to work when I passed a garage sale and something cought my eye. I stopped and they had an old Coleman lantern. It was marked $10, I ofered $6 and we settled on $8. Somewhere along the line someone etched USFS R6 on the side. On the bottom it reads Coleman Lamp & Stove CO Wichita KS Instant Lite Patented June 26th 1929.

Very Very good find! Was the USFS stamped into the tank, or did someone else do it? Doug

Doug, someone did it along the line but it's been a long time.
