P.S. Oh I forgot. It was sold when I got there. It went for $150.00
and it was in rough shape but going to be restored.

YEP - the same on in fact!

I walked past this one and it had sold on it - When I saw it I thought it was just the top part of a lamp sitting on a table - saw about a dozen of them - but then I walked around and saw the full beauty of it. I too was at canton Trades Days looking for the unusual. it is certainly one of a kind!. Did you see his 70's 228 Gold Bond?

BTW - I picked up an 1951 AGM milspec, 500 stove, and a miners carbine head lamp

Well I just googled it. Military. I saw one too. Had my hands on it. Wasn't 100% sure what I was looking at, at least on that one. Yes I have seen these before and thought about grabbing one. Just not 100% I want to be a member of this cult, I mean group, club. Don't have both feet in the water.

Slow...too bad you are so far away! You need to find some way to make it to a meet once a year. recycle bottles and cans and save it for gas money or something! That way you can get your fix in person and spend the rest of the year chatting with us!

Now is the time to save up for the IRG! It's 5 days, or maybe longer for some of us...of adult summer camp! River to swim in, good eats, good stories around the campfire, and lots of kicking back! Doug
