    Had fun making this 1930's time period photo. Coleman 117A has a "Crackle Green Colac" finish. It came with a Roto-Type burner with a built in tip cleaner using a T44 generator.

    The dishes are U.S. depression glass which were also made in the 1930s. The United States was in the "Great Depression" where jobs and money were in short supply. Soap and cereal manufacturers included a piece of free dishware as an incentive to buy their product.

    The shade is not correct for the time period but was very inexpensive and looks nice. The jelly is home made by my mother in law. Thanks for stopping by.
