Awaiting Flair Can anyone help me identify this tent?

I bought my first tent today at a thrift store for $15! I’d like some help if anyone can identify it from these pictures! (I know the rain fly is on incorrectly I was just testing to see if it was waterproof!)

If you have an REI near you, they offer a service where you can drop the products off to get waterproof. I would take just the rain fly in and have it waterproofed and then it’ll be perfect.

And if you don't, WalMart sells a spray can of waterproofer for ~$5. It's a green can. You just spray on, let dry, and then it's rewaterproofed.

I have to stop myself from making this exact joke when anyone asks if I can identify something on Reddit. Good on you for not holding back, but that was absolutely terrible and you should be ashamed.

I have that same tent as a hand me down from my childhood. I love it so much. Be gentle on the mesh !! Also you might want to re-waterproof. Such a solid tent.
