Red headed virgin!!

I found this in an antique mall last week but it was a little out of my budget, so I waited and this week they had a 20% off sale. So I went back to get it. I can't tell if it has been fired, but at the very least the original mantle has been burned in. Still very clean and almost no use at all. It's a 72 model.

Sorry if the title is missleading, but originally i tought it was pure.

Keith - That is a beautiful redhead. Dont touch it, I am warning you that lantern will ruin your life. Just box it up and send it to me. My life is already destroyed by Coleman obsession. I will sacrifice for the group. I will bare the pain and the burden. :lol:

Thanks Kirk but I must suffer through this myself (with the support of my friends on this forum) :)

I think Joamon has already spilled a little white gas...or maybe even taken a sip!!

Nice find!! See what we were saying about the boxes?? Just adds to it. Nice graphics on the mantle bag, too..that would make a great decal for the Coleman Keepers.

Congratulations on a great find and also for having the control to wait for the 20% off day. That would be a tough one to do. So is it a user, or a shelf queen? Pull the vent and look for any leftover soot....that may help in determining if it's been used, also sniff the tank on it, there should be some clue. Doug

I didn't see any soot, but the metal is discolered from the burn in, I think.
Also the tank had no oder.

NOOOOOOOOooooo! Don't sniff... ohhh, too late. He's a goner. Another white gas addict has been created.

All I have to say is

:awesome: and WELCOME!
