Here's the vase, the wife has talked to somebody that is going to evaluate it.
She said these markings inside match up perfectly with the real thing, but fakes look genuine sometimes. Honestly, I'd be really surprised if was worth a great deal:
It does look cool in the foyer though, I gotta admit:
That's my messy hangout against the windows. I have to clean it up before I leave for work :

True story, we were looking to build back in 2002 and I told the wife to get what she wanted because this was probably our last hurrah. We looked online...we looked everywhere.....she couldn't find the one that blew her skirt up. One day we were in a book store and I picked up a book of house plans. Of course I dropped it and it fell on the floor open to a design. She said "that's it...that's IT! That's my dream house!" I said OK, we'll build it. I had bought an acre and I/2 in Chelsea and the guy was tight for money so I practically stole it. It made building the house a little easier.
PLUS, they messed up and dug out too big of a basement, so the contractor had to suck it up and pay for the extra space himself! HAR! My shop:
I made the tables myself!:

Thank you, we love it. I really like your collection too. Very unique and filled with history. A one of a kind collection. Are there clubs and societies for lantern collection or are you the founding father of the field? I'm serious, I'm not joking around for once. Rich

Search the ICCC and make sure that when you search it that you type 'ICCC coleman' it finds it faster. Im a member there as well as the coleman collectors forum. Colemancollectorsforum.com

Lantern, That's a very different kind of hobby. Hats off to you man. I don't think I could chase all over to find those things. You are totally set if we suddenly find ourselves without electricity!
Bash, Yeah well.... I'll send you a grass skirt, you send me a house. Even Stephen. LOL
Roketa, Man, never let your wife hear that you said you own her... You and the bike will be sleeping in the next county. LOL

Rich you are officially my hero is up with only 3bikes? Are you totally insane? I'd have a build on the burner constantly At that time there were two more you couldn't see. Right now I have the Fashion, The Pegasus, two Bashans (one is Frankie), the Puma, and the SYM. Two are under repair and not ridden right now. The Puma (Sue's) and the SYM get ridden all the time. The others I crank up and ride them about once a week. Something wrong with Frankie, he's acting squirrely like the frame is bent. Rich

Shoot Pedro, if we lived near each other we'd probably have a mutual garage and have a Jay Leno level of bikes in there. Beemers...Dukes...Kawis...SYMs...Aprilia..CFs...my brain is exploding. But, we most likely wouldn't get to enjoy it because we would probably both be in jail. Rich
