I Want

When you are walkabout at your local flea market or garage sale and you find a lantern with this plate attached, buy it.





Here's the lantern...

Its a Sears lantern manufactured by Preway (Prentiss-Wabers) fairly rare. In this condition she's worth about fifty dollars (US) but I'd be a buyer at thirty.

Now, get out there and find a nice example....then send it to me.

I promise, when it arrives I'll dance at your next wedding....promise.

    I'd be more tempted if you promised not to dance frankly.

      I never frankly dance. However, I do dance with grace, and often dance on my partners toes.

    Preppy beat me to it, but the lantern would be worth it. :)

      Any Sears lantern is a score. Let's face it, they're pieces of 'made in America' history.

    Looks like it would be fairly rare.

      It is...you live in a part of the country where the hunt for Coleman items should be rich.
