          I'm a new member here, and my Dad recently passed away in January and I found this really old tent buried away under the mounds of stuff he had accumulated over the years. What is it and how old is it would you guys guess? I measured it and it's 9 feet long and 7 feet wide, I just set it up in my yard this morning. It's around 5 feet tall I'd guess. Seems to be real good shape and I want to take it camping this weekend! I love canvas tents, they are better than the nylon tents I've used previously. Pretty sure it's made out of canvas anyway. The tag on the front is quite illegible or I'd know what it was.


          Also, what can I use to treat the canvas to make it more water resistant? I sprayed it with my garden hose to check for leaks and it has a few small ones, but nothing serious.

            I have used Nikwax in the past with fair results. I say fair because during all day heavy rains our old tent always seemed to drip over my bed.
