    My wax moth traps look surprisingly like a ten frame deep box with no bees in them. I only re bait mine once a year. ;)

    1945 burner is priceless buddy! Still works like a charm! Thanks for the recipe. This should help a lot of folks out. Loved the old lamp and iron to. Awesome things you have. Hope you have a great day!

    OkieRob, if you would operate the hand drill turning clockwise, it will be easier to drill holes. But respect, it goes the left way as well ;-)

      Turning backwards doesn't grab and rip the plastic. Makes a smoother hole.

    Those Coleman gasoline appliances would have been made in 1940, after that all their production would have been going toward the war effort. The odds someone could afford those pretty things before 1940 before the war heated up the economy would have been slim.

      There are a lot of Coleman lanterns and stoves out there made pre 1940. Somebody was buying them for Coleman to stay in business. Nobody in my family would have been able to afford one.
