Got a vintage / brand new Coleman stove today

[flywise]

Have not had a chance to look it up but I think it’s at lease 30 years old. Not sure when they quit using liquid fuel but I do know this thing had never been fully unpackaged. If it’s worth anything to anyone send a PM

Not sure when they switched fuels but I have one that looks identical my folks bought in the late 60's or 1970 at the latest. As a kid one of my duties on our camping trips was to get up early to fuel, pump-up and light the stove to start the coffee for mom and dad. Just a whiff of that Coleman fuel would bring back lots of memories.

If you take the cardboard of the tank tabs there should be a date on the tabs. Heck of a find.
Is there a date on the shipping label?

That’s awesome. Have always wanted a old Coleman stove ,

[Bigfootwolff]

Great find, I would love to hear the the story of how you found it.

Man, my sisters talked Mom into selling our old Coleman in a garage sale, ugh....
Nice stove I would love to have it but too far.
Very cool find!

Sounds really familiar. Lots of camping trips with the kerosene

I’ll try and do that tomorrow, thanks for the tip

No spectacular story unfortunately. My step dad wend down the road to an estate sale and saw it in the garage. Think he bought it for $40 and gave it to me for partial trade. I don’t really want it because I have two propane versions but really don’t want it setting in my shed for another 20 years

I have been looking for one like that. It's a great find.

My wife bought me this old one for about $25 at a garage sale. I have no idea if that was $25 too much or if it will blow up the first time I fire it up.

[sasqy]

I have 2 !
They are awesome, cool score on the new old one.

[TxDispatcher]

Man, looking at that brings back many fond memories. Cool find

The dual fuel aren't as popular as propane but are still available. You can get a converter to run propane in the dual fuel stoves.

Cooked a lot of meals in deer camp with one of those. That stove and the roar of a couple lanterns was heaven.
