    Wow, that's a heck of a score. I like the Eveready box, is there a lamp in there?

    Yeah, I almost walked out and saw them sitting atop a mezzanine. They had been there for some time. I really like the ever ready as well, glass is not original unfortunately

    I really like the 355 globe on the Coleman table lamp. (139?).

    Nice score. I assume you asked if they had more somewhere standing ?

    A friend of mine thinks Coleman table lamp is a 158. I took every lantern and lamp he had. Once in a life time opportunity .....well something that doesn't come along very often

    What a wonderful haul! And a Coleman 206! Most American collectors never never even get to see one in the flesh. Just be careful of the 355 globe on the Coleman lamp, as in the pic the spring clips securing it appear to be fitted upside down. Those globes are becoming quite hard to find at any reasonable price. The older two Tilleys are also highly desirable finds.

    Congratulations!

    Some rare stuff there. Coleman 206 is a very rare beast and you don't get to see Tilley BR49Bs very often either. The Coleman table lamp is model 156. Same as 158 but without the pre heater cup it is a gasoline lamp and 158 is for kero. The globe on it is worth more than the lamp.

    Now then that Eveready is interesting. I have it listed but I see the instructions are there and I would very much like a set of scans for that if possible please. Some better shots of the box and details of the lamp would be good as well. ::Neil::
