Following others crazy addictions

Postby Joamon » Thu Oct 15, 2009 7:57 pm

I have been on this board now for about 4 years I think. I love to read about all the things we (yall) get into. Early this year I bought a dutch oven and just last week I bought another and have been just starting to get into cooking with cast iron. Having said that I'm not sure I'm into the coleman thing. A week or two ago the wife and I were at a flea market and I found myself looking at the bottom of lanters to see what dates they were? Why? I don't even like them that much.(whatever)
I do own a large two burner stove that I bought an adapter for the fuel for. Anyway today on the way home I stopped at yard sale and what do you think they had? Yes, it was two coleman lanters. Sooo what do you think I did? I looked at the bottom to see what the dates were. Why?
One was a 64 good shape, the other was a 73 not as good a shape.
Sooo what do you think I did? I asked how much. Why???
The answer $1.00. Why could he not have said $10.00 or even $5.00?
Well for a dollar how can you not give it a good home? So I bought the 64.
Thanks alot guys! (sarcasm)
Anyway whay can you tell me abought this one?

Looks to be in good shape except for dirt. There are some scrates where the handle hits the base.

Thanks Keith

Isn't it funny how that works? I do the same thing when I go to a yard sale or flea market. I'll see a Coleman item, pick it up, and turn it over. (I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M LOOKING AT.) Image

But I do it anyway, and wonder if anyone here is looking for one of 'em. If I knew for sure, I'd scoop it for them.
