G-sales 5/15

Postby High Desert » Sun May 16, 2010 1:12 am

Found a couple Coleman goodies today. Nothing rare or fancy, but it was still a good day. At least they were things I didn't have yet...

220E dated 11/57 with a case, safe, funnel, gen wrench and 3 Silklite mantles for $20. Wouldn't have paid that much for just a 220 but I wanted the case and accessories lol

This old girl was well kept. Had about a 1/4" of fuel in a spotless fount. Cap seal was hard as a brick. A new cap and some fresh fuel and she burned for 4 hours straight in the shop tonight..

Image

Also found a good 2 gallon jug for $5. Nice and clean inside, appears to spent most of it's life on a shelf. My first one of these...

Image

also found a large toaster oven for the shop for $10 so I can bake the paint on founts and other items. DW just isn't too keen on using her kitchen oven for that lol.

Not a huge haul but a good day :D

Indeed! I like the metal Coleman lantern carrying case, too...

I think it a great day!

looks good shaun!
Ive drank many many gallons of water out of one of those jugs, always had one on the tractor growing up. sometimes my grandma would suprise me and put lemonaide in it.
I would have paid $20 for the lantern with the accessories too..
Im a touch bummed that I didnt buy the fair german lantern but oh well....slow day rummage saling here. went to or past probably 20 sales and only the one lantern..

Cool Paul, free is good! I forgot, we also got a 10 gallon Igloo water cooler for $5 that was used once. Darn thing is huge! And DW got a real nice 3 piece solid oak headboard for free. The guy kept telling me how happy he was not to have to move it again as he helped me load it lol. We oiled it all down last night and will install that today. She's hooked on g-sales now. And as I always have better luck when she is with me (my good luck charm), it's a win-win for us both!
