Anearly-1980s vintage Coleman Peak1 hiking/camping backpack in green nylon withblack-plastic frame. This was used by myself and my brother as boy scouts inthe 80s, and has been in our family for almost 40 years.Itwas a breakthrough in hiking engineering at the time, practically... a holy grailfor the boys who used it: tough, lightweight, adjustable, roomy, andcomfortable. It has a simple design with deep main pocket and 2 deep zipperedside pockets.Thisbackpack is complete and everything works, in good used condition especially when considering its age, with some wear and blemishes including a small patch. The black-plastic frame measures about 34.75inches tall and 15 inches wide. It’s in good condition with minor wear andscuffs but everything intact.Flaws as noted in photos:1) A small, unobtrusive 1.5-inch by 1.25-inch black nylon patch on bottom corner of main bag/pocket. Outside bottom of main pocket with patch is shown in photo #6, with inside of main pocket and patch show in photo #7.2) I found only oneminiscule hole, a tiny slit about 1/4-inch long on the outer nylon flap. Seephoto #8.3) A tiny spot about 3/16-inch in diameter on the upper outer nylonflap. It looks like a bit of glue. See photo #9.4) Scuffs and minor wear tothe black plastic frame. See photos #10-11.5) A small worn or blemish areaabout 1 inch long on one of the inside shoulder straps.
