Another cool find!! MANUALS!!

Got a chance to get inside the 59 today . Found a folder with lots of original manuals and stuff.
Eaz- lift hitches and Trailer accessories book
The Care of Your Airstream Travel Trailer
A Bulletin from Atwood Bowen
General Gas and Light instructions for gas light
Kelsey Hayes Brake manual

Looks like manuals and instruction for every piece of equipment in the trailer!! gas valves, toilets, stove.

A cool Humphreys Gas light catalog,
A bulletin form Airstream dated October 17 (MY BIRTHDAY!) 1960

A TIME CAPSULE!!

Manuals are good. Don't toss them (I know you weren't planning on it). You never know when you might need a reference.

I suspect there are other folks here that would pay a buck or two for copies of those (copyright rules? after 50 years? Hummmmmm....)

You may also want to submit them to the VAC for their archive library.

I, for one as another '59 owner, would be very interested in copies of all you have with the exception of the Kelsey Hayes brakes. I already have that one. Be more than happy to send you $ for copying and postage.
