The seller messaged me last night asking me if I knew what was so special about it... I was at a lost for words other than its in really nice shape and has the box.

[QUOTE username=zialantern userid=1827707 postid=1311996148]I’d be interested in the the cord since nobody has chimed In for that?

It came with the last issue of the Coleman Light.

That was satisfying....

No, the Coleman Collectors Guide and the history book are two different things.

I would be interested in the base/ heating element

I was there and spent a little more than I should have but I got some nice pieces. Definitely got my feet wet on some hollow wire. ?

Well there are least two in existence, I just dug out my 425 box and it has it spelled the same way. I was going to post a picture but my phone is acting weird so you will have to take my word for it.

So sorry to hear that Steve, prayers for you and the family.

We miss counted and didn't order enough patches, you should get them at a later date.

I built a 4x8 teardrop several years ago and the wife and I used the heck out of it but we found out that it was a little small for the two us to sleep comfortably. A couple of years ago a home built 5x10 came up for sale that we liked and it fits us much better. The top one is the one I built.

That is very cool, I had no idea that they existed.

56, I've been collecting for ten years although I had picked up a couple many years ago thinking they were cool. I grew up with Coleman and experienced my first "Damn that was hot" when I touched the edge of a lit lantern with the inside of my bicep when I was 10 ?
