Nice finds!! You'll have fun rehabbing those!!

Yeah, I've decided I 'need' the Avon lantern. Always did like it, but passed it up. Now I can put that in with my collection. I like the keychain guys too.

And of course I have the string light Coleman lights, too.

Can't wait to see your pics on getting those lanterns up and running!

super finds! Love those American Gas Machines! I hope the fount is good. They tend to have tiny stress cracks running up from the bottom. Make sure to check before you put fuel in.
I learned the hard way and made a mess. Lol
Is it true? Is it necessary? Is it kind? Ask yourself these simple questions every time you are in doubt about any action.

Looks great!

Which flea market did you visit? Have yet to find a real good one on this side of the Metroplex.

We go to First Monday Trades Days in Canton, Tx. It's so big,if you wanted to you could take two days and not see everything. It's about an hour and 15 min from Dallas.
Lazybones ..I have not noticed any cracks in this Sears lantern, but everything on it seems to be frozen up. I have my work cut out for me.
I have a 1926 AGM I am working on a little at a time. Seems to be coming along well so far. I am really have a good time with it.

I like that Wards Lantern. The one Western Auto Revelation lantern I have seen pictures of looked like that. I sure would like to get my hands on one.
