Birthday Lantern Finds Me
Well I’m sitting at my computer writing a polite letter to a E-bay seller about why I have not received that last lantern I won. A nice looking 200a 5-64 B-Day lanter. My neighbors grandson knocks on the door and ask if I knew how to change a starter. I told him I be over after I finish up on the computer and for him to go head a try to get the car up on some car ramps. So I’m under his car and fighting with a tight bolt. My neighbor ask me was I doing anything import before his grand son came and got me. I told him about the coleman lantern that has not showed up. He goes “I have two coleman in my shed”. I inform him this was a special date lanter, my birth day month and year 5-64. Next thing I know I pulls out a nice little home made box with a 200s in it, Dated … Drum roll please.... 5 - 65 Swing and a Miss. "Oh the other one must be the 64." He leans over the lawn mower and pull out a Sears 476.74070 modeled 5-64 Jackpot. Score and Score, and he gave them to me for putting in the starter. SCORE!
Now I can stop kicking my self in the butt for missing that 5-64 Sears without a globe and a broken collar on E-bay because my dog ran off chasing a cat. HA ha hahaha. Picture as found. + few extra goodies in the box as well.
