I was searching last week, the best I could find on the original manufacturer was a site that said they no longer exist. Couldn't find out if they were bought out, went bankrupt, or just closed the doors.
I also checked Coleman's web site, couldn't find the water bags there. If I remember I'll call their museum next week, see if they know anything.
I got the quick-step on my first visit to the C&TS, made the mistake of drinking from a fountain at Osier when Black Bart ran the place. Found out later he was being shut down by the state board of health because of the water. Made for a miserable night and a lousy trip back home.
