Bought this off of the original owner a few years ago. He thinks he purchased it in 1967! This is a vintage, & still fully functional, Eddie Bauer Draw Tite Tent. Canvas material with a vinyl floor. Comes with a canvas rainfly. This is the same type tent that made it to Everest in 1963 during the first ever ascent by climbers from the USA. There is one small snag in the mosquito netting that has been patched. I tried to take a pic, but it would not show up. There is also an approximately 3/4" gap where the seam has pulled apart. The gap (it's not a hole from a puncture, the seam has pulled apart slightly) is along the roofline, & is completely covered by the fly. I think this would be an easy fix for a seamstress or anyone with basic sewing skills. The rest of the tent is in really good shape. Canvas has zero mildew, & zero funky smell. Zippers work fine. Still beads water extremely well. There is a small screened window in the back for good ventilation. These are getting extremely rare & hard to find. $200 + actual shipping cost 2016-04-25 16.02.41.jpg2016-04-25 16.03.24.jpg2016-04-25 16.01.50.jpg

Hi, this is an older post, wondering if you ever sold the tent or had any interest? I have the same tent, it was my dad's, he also bought new. Great Tent, can't beat Canvas.
