They have to be around 30 year old. Was one of early manufacturer. If they have been stored right they should be ok. You got a heck of a deal!
In another thread, someone recommended assuming the shell weighs one pound. If that bag used goose down equivalent to the best that's used in modern bags, then it could be rated for 20°F.
I have one of those. I think it was rated around 0 when I bought it.
Great find! I have a Camp 7 down vest and a synthetic bag from the mid-70s. Still look and work as new. Enojoy your find! There should be a tag on the outside foot end that lists the down contents.

There is a newer Camp 7 company that has no relation to the above. IIRC, Neptune's here in town sells their gear.

Mas,
Thanks for trip down memory lane. I remember walking down a street in Boulder in 1967 and seeing one gear shop after another.
Hi jack: Anyone remember The Trail Hut/Trailwise, Air Lift or Jet Gaz?
