1 lucky lady!!!

I've got a customer, mid 60's I'd guess that is into Coleman stuff. She showed up at my store one day and asked, "are you the guy that's into Coleman stuff?". Yup...that's me...she took me out to show me a load of what she had found in the back of her car.

Black bands, Christmas lanterns, and a load of other 200A's. I showed her how to test, take them apart and helped her out on some tips and techniques as well as giving her tips on what to look for on stoves.

So today...she comes in the store, toting a load of pics on her phone of a beautiful Model 2 with an oven on it. She got it for helping the owner clean out their garage. It's dirty and some rust, but not bent up and the badging is perfect on it. It's 86 years old! That's just about as old as they get! 1925, all complete. Only 1 model is older. Wish I were the one to find it....She's one lucky lady! Other people in the store think we're nuts...that's OK...we enjoy the talk and showing off pics. Doug
