RC,
If you don't mind me asking how much did those lamps set you back?
I just looked again , that poor stove with the heat drum on it looks like Charlie Brown on Halloween...
Gave the guy a hundred. He told me 50.
We cross trails on another forum and will likely hunt or fish together. I'm not going to want him regretting the price.
Normally with a stranger , unless a destitute senior or something , I'll low ball and still have a conscience..
Anyways , the stainless wood handled reflector on the 200A /red lantern is what I was really after. Not sure what they go for in Canada.
And Japan has some collectors that would do hand springs for one.
The 200A's have gained traction in collectability. For me it's starting with one a half century ago. That first one was well used when I got my hot little hands on it when my age was at or near single digits.
MANY hours ice fishing with it for warmth.
Deer hunting tent camps.
Canada fishing.
Florida camping.
Power outages.
Heck , my first house had...No stove,fridge,bed,ect. for a while. 3-4 months maybe till a stove was delivered ,on Thanksgiving day!
Had my camping gear though. Got me through till things shook out better.
Same old lantern was in on all of it. An old friend I won't part ways with willingly.
And my first Coleman camp stove fed that homes residents , and still works today. (No It's not the only means of cooking here. , I have a "real" stove in the kitchen. l.o.l..)
Makes for a good hobby for me today. Small enough to wrestle kind of items.
