Colemans galore - yard sale finds for a total of $16

[Rocketgirl]

My yard sale finds a couple weeks ago... all within 3 miles of home. 3 2-burner stove, a 3-burner stoves, 3 lanterns, 3 FREE cans of fuel.... all for $16. yipee skipee The heater in the middle was a freebie. The weiner dogs just don't know what to make of it all.

Way to go. Those all look like good pieces to have in a collection. What are the model #'s and dates on them?

Oh Oh.....I've created a monster and it's on my turf!!!......Have fun guys...Doug

Doesn't even compare with your collection, Doug. This is it.... no more. I'll see which ones work the best and then do something with the remaining inventory. Except I'm keeping the 3 burner. I did find a vintage Coleman folding table and stools online that I'm going to try and pick up this weekend. But then, I DO NEED a table.

Nice Take ! The three burners are great stoves..

She's hooked.....that's what they all say, Penny, "No, really, this is it...no more..." until you reach that next yard sale where you find yet another. If you end up with too many by the end of the season, you can always bring a few to the IRG where I'm sure they would find a good home with someone. I did a summer cleaning of the home in Trinity and discovered the Coleman "Lost Lanterns" collection way up in the rafters of the storage shed. I'm gonna cull out the one to keep and bring the rest to put up for raffle prizes since so many here like to restore them.

(And Dougie, you did not create a Monster, you simply allowed her to discover her inner longing for the finer items of camping) Wait till you see the run on old time coffee grinders that will be coming as a result of R & P's desire to share the grounds.

Can I interest anyone in an old Coleman trailer frame with sides that my brother found and was going to turn into a vehicle to haul the riding lawn mower.?? He died before he got to do anything, so I salvaged and decided to keep the table, bed pad (it's perfect size for the back of pick up truck) and cushions.

Good find, Rocket Girl.

ahhh coffee grinders. "Someone" who will remain nameless although his first initial is "RICH" has moved on to old meat grinders and cast iron muffin pans of varous interesting shapes. Teardrop Nanny...: The boyfriend has totally taken over the house now.....it's MAN CAVE Central... except my little desk area and the kitchen table where occasionally I am allowed to put my sewing machine. I may have to move out to the Rockatear fulltime...... it may be the only space that I have left!
