More well deserved suckage! Dang Timm!

outlawmws

I'd have probably grabbed the CLX 1 if in decent shape.

outlawmws

To quote a friend of mine, One is just one, two is a pair, but three is a collection...

outlawmws

So I did something dumb at stop #1 today; I set a box down to pay and then forgot to pick the dang thing up! My memory was jogged by a pic, in the posts since I posted, and then I was "did I leave it in the van?" - No... So I went back on the off chance it was not resold... (my fault if it did) Dang...

outlawmws

Thx Fred! Matt, Nice finds! Today was almost all "Tool and GPA/fishing day" Mostly tools But a GPA, and a nice Eagle Claw pole: A good day especially considering only 4 stops and no TOO's First stop was the "expensive" one but a good deal for $20: A 6-1/2 ft Eagle Claw Spin/Fly rod in pristine shape...

outlawmws

A so-so day again, but some camp/GPA related (I left a CL2 in he box behind... Too bad it wasn't a CL1!) An old rod and baitcasting reel that will go nicely with the Union Tackle box I got last Sat that was a copy of the one I had as a kid - this is a copy of one of the two poles the old widow also ...

outlawmws

Weren't thy made for the 202's?

outlawmws

I have a couple duplicate Crows feet and a spare 3/8 breaker in my "extended" GPA box - It provides just enough offset, and I don't need the extension and ratchet.

outlawmws

Just to be sure - the valve is not an on off switch - when you turn it off it takes a little bit for the vaporized fuel in the genny to fully lose pressure and it goes out slowly. This is normal.

outlawmws

I worked with a couple of "Flatties" ages ago - we were designing communications satellites. They would actually ask me "So what are we really designing here? It has to be something for the government..."

outlawmws

Nice find on the 400 Duane! I suspect your schrader was just sticky from non use, but good that its now working and also good that you have replacements on the way. These 400's are powerhouse stoves, and simmer nice as well, so a really nice find. I think I like them better than the 502's The 500 is...

outlawmws

I'd never heard of a Triumph lantern so have no clue.

Any relation to the Motorcycle Co.?

that nice of a vent and globe that are that hard to find in decent shape makes most any lantern a great find...

outlawmws

Wow, super find on the 242 Kevin!

outlawmws

Sleeping with the Enemy:

outlawmws

Never, and even if it did soften the brass, its fully supported by the cap, so no real loss.

outlawmws

You will beat this; just stay focused!

outlawmws

Great score! I keep buying little boxes with or without surprises...

outlawmws

The elevator one also goes for traffic signal pedestrian buttons...

outlawmws

Only 52? I'm kinda surprised!

outlawmws

I have a project to covert 20" bike to electric "assist" and take it camping/hunting. I'll keep the pedals, I may need them!

outlawmws

Very cool Marty! No wonder you and Matt are long time friends!

I don't have a "theme" but I do "live in a museum" of sorts...

My motto to the "minimalist" crowd - "I'd rather live in a museum than a hotel"

outlawmws

As long as you enjoyed the trip Duane, the stove and lantern are bonuses! How was the smoke around Yreka? - That big McKinney fire burned through my current B zone hunting area, so will be scouting for where to go next year for sure... This year we got drawn for X zone so fingers crossed that area d...

outlawmws

very kool Timm!

outlawmws

Tim do you have AAA? in CA the larger AAA offices have (drum roll) a DMV satellite office! We were in and out in 10 min transferring my moms car to us a couple months ago... You cannot GET an appointment in the reg DMV offices and meet their "Must be transferred within 10 days of sale" mantra... And...

outlawmws

If it was local sale, maybe put a "For trade" ad adn maybe the 5101 buyer will see it? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Nice finds though!

Is the fuel can Coleman?

outlawmws

Looks like you got some nice custom boxes as well! Nice score!

outlawmws

Great progress John!

outlawmws

That's is the "Heritage": logo, late 40's through early 60's. That's a nice find!

Mind if I repost those elsewhere?

outlawmws

Wow, can you get a better shot of the Craftsman stamping?

outlawmws

I don't have a Model T or A but I do pick up a lot of old ford (and other car/motorcycle Mfg's ) tools. (I do have a 47 ford PU - I should see what came with the trucks...)

outlawmws

Wow, good eye and instincts!

Those Pliers? any branding? Everything else looks Coleman/GPA.

outlawmws

Here are my two I mentioned - the Coleman has never been used.

The hinge looking clip on the atlas has a pin you can pull; that that "hinge" is actually a clip to hold the top closed, to allow cleaning.

outlawmws

Thx Ken!

I'm probably happiest about the box, so now I have mine and a few years back I found one the same as my dad's from when I was a kid. I still need to find the old Reel I had. (I still have the Mitchel 300 I "upgraded" to..)

outlawmws

I ran into a Cattle jam on the last Nor Cal Camp trip going in.

outlawmws

Wow spectacular!

Is the red sky from distant fires?

outlawmws

Estate sale, run by a couple that "retired" but she keeps dragging them back out of retirement... The husband Unit has always been good to me in the garage. The Union Utility box was me buying back a piece of my childhood - one just like it full of fishing gear was given me when I was in about the t...

outlawmws

That a a nice one! Great find! I have the same one that lived in the drapery shop, then the upholstery shop I worked at. i used to take the empties to the local Coke bottler, adn pick up full ones, for the shops. Mine shows it's age and needs to be restored... I have not run it in years, however. Ye...

outlawmws

Nice job! and I'd guess the mantles will travel better in a soft padded case too.

outlawmws

If the valve threads are the same, sure.

outlawmws

Cool Collection! and one from the Bell system!

outlawmws

PM sent on Vent, Genny and Collar

outlawmws

Glad Margret is on the mend, and well enough to get (possibly) hooked into a new hobby!

outlawmws

Yep, Suckage Awarded for a great find!

I have the plain green paint version I picked up about a year ago (a week short)

outlawmws

I have two micro torches, a red one I got as it was recommended here, then I bought a second when I lost track of it and gave up (a year later I found it...) the second was off Amazon and was listed for "kitchen use" (Chromed...) works just the same and was a lot cheaper that others (that looked ide...

outlawmws

I have 2. one is a NOS Coleman never been wet, the other a well used, but intact "Atlas" with an original cork stopper

outlawmws

They definitely work to reduce bugs I'll hang a "white" lantern outside my semi enclosed canopy, and use the yellow inside. They go to the white.

outlawmws

Graphite makes a great anode and is easy to keep clean.

outlawmws

I use an old (non-solid state) battery charger. generally a 5 gallon bucket, and steel scrap welded into a bucket sized "U" rebar rod across the top of the bucket, and hang parts from Rebar tie wire. I usually use the low setting and go slow. Its not a race... Positive to the anode (think "red to ru...

By being dropped hard ...
