This is one of the coolest tents I have ever seen. Early to Mid 70's design. Single walled Gore-Tex 4 Season tent. I literally could almost stand on the top once it was set up without it breaking! Weighs just over 5 lbs and is a great green color. Likewise it has an epic name, the Starship. Early Winters Starship 2 Man Tent.

Early Winters ltd. Winterlight 311
This is possibly the craziest tent I've seen in awhile. It's a 4 season Gore-Tex non-freestanding tent. The pole design is just nuts, really really lightweight fiberglass type poles with a metal section that attaches it in the middle. Wish I had photos of that but I don't. Anyway a 4-season non-freestanding doesn't seem smart to me, but whatever.
Seirra Designs 4-Season 2 man
I don't know the name on this one because it doesn't say, and it's older, but it's really cool.
This is a 2 man, 4 season tent from Sierra Designs, not much else I can say other than I love the purple poles.

Sierra Designs Electron 1
The Sierra Designs Electron 1
One man, freestanding, super awesome tent.
This guy weighed in at about 4.5 lbs, which is fairly heavy for a one man, but it's super cool. Lots of room, very well built. Full rain-fly with vestibule and lots of mesh to keep it cool in warm weather. This would be an ideal one man tent for someone not looking to go super-light.
Exped Auriga Tent
The Exped Auriga is an interesting tent that they make now in a mesh version. Pretty heavy guy but very cool and very well built.
I think it weighed in at 8 lbs or so.
It's got a cool design where you slide the poles in and set it up and you're done, there is no attaching the rain-fly to the main tent, it's built separate but attached.
2 door, 2 person

REI Solo
I've never seen a tent quite like this. It is the REI Solo. It's a Single pole through the middle, one man, non-freestanding and under 4 lbs. Really strange.

Eureka Zeues XCO
This is a pretty awesome Eureka tent. The Eureka Zeus XCO is a 4 season tent that is single walled.
It's a little older probably around 2000 but not sure.
The outer poles is kinda of interesting but it looks pretty solid for a 2 man or 1 man 4 season. Would be very lightweight, probably under 5 lbs if I remember right.
Sold at $120 or $140 I believe.

North Face Talus
This North Face talus is an interesting 3 season tent.
It is super well built, almost 4 season like. When weighed it was 7lbs 3 oz. Double doors, with mesh option and full covering option. Sorry there isn't a photo of it with the rain-fly
Sold for $100
