"Glad you found that. BTW Coleman makes NOTHING. They only allow others to use their name for a fee."
Yep on that. I read the story on the Sunbeam company. Some guy bought it over a decade ago and has sort of made it a "brand" company. He hollowed it out and licenses old names that still have some cachet. Sears is about to go belly up. I cannot figure the guy out that owns it or runs it, but I believe he has had a strategy to take a historically powerful company and slowly hollow it out while sucking it dry until there is nothing left but a husk. He's there with Sears. And I remember when I worked there in the 70's and at that point they told us 1 in 5 people in the country would work for Sears at some point in their life. It had the best paint in the country and great tools lawn mowers etc.
The Coleman name was a part of destroying Fleetwood trailers. They had a long fight over the name with Sunbeam, had to quit using it and I'm pretty sure that fight kind of sucked them dry and then when the great recession hit, that put them under.
