That's pretty cool! I grew up in Wichita. A former friend of mine owns and lives in the Coleman "mansion". All of the camping equipment when I was in Boy Scouts in the 1960s was from Coleman.
I’m chuffed to bits for ya brother!! I think Coleman went to the Silklite packaging we commonly see with the lantern on the front in the 60’s. I’m guessing the wax paper would be at least from the 50’s and earlier. Those guillotine cases are getting harder to find as well. Nice score 👍🏻👍🏻
@@darrellbigdaddydcarter9224 I found a 1950 242C today at a yard sale.. it was in a 288 case.. nickel bottom. I’m cleaning out the tank as I send this.. been a good day..
