. Here's mine with some flashlights.

Chef · 06-21-2015, 02:41 PM

Here are my two lanterns. I have two stoves and a heater that are still in rough shape!!

63 200A and a 55 double mantle

2050z · 06-21-2015, 03:32 PM

Nice treasures

buckwild17 · 06-21-2015, 05:00 PM

I'm on the look for a few now. Some J wagon swiped my lantern at Garner last year. I bought a new one , just ain't the same as the old models !!!

SwampRabbit · 06-21-2015, 06:10 PM

It is garage sale season. So far I am 0 for 15 in the stove/lantern dept. Did find a road feeder though for 10 bucks that I fixed up.

2050z · 06-21-2015, 06:52 PM

Yes it is and I hope to find more the same way

2050z · 06-23-2015, 07:16 AM

Picking this one up today. This one will get added to the "get used" box.

SwampRabbit · 06-23-2015, 07:26 AM

Nice! Find that online?

Wife hit a sale today. She called to ask about a buffer and a craftsman creeper but made no mention of this

5 bucks!

2050z · 06-26-2015, 04:57 AM

Very nice.

Sparzo · 06-30-2015, 09:10 PM

Would this stove count? Or not old enough? 5400A700

Of course it counts. It's a Coleman.

What are the top 3 most looked for items by Coleman collectors? (other than the first 3 items made)

I don't have any fuel other than propane so I haven't tried it yet. It's actually very clean and I see no reason why it shouldn't

I guess that depends on the collector.

Lanterns, stoves, and ice chest.

Lanterns(single or double mantle), stoves(single, two or three burner), heaters, ice chest, water jugs, stove stands, chef trays, heat drum for single burner stove and so on.

Coleman is into everything it seems like. The International Coleman Collectors Club is based in Richardson, TX.

Do they have any kind of shows or anything? Would be fun to go look around.

Check the font(tank) for rust before fueling it up. Once inspected fire that bad boy up. I have one and it's going to get used once I find a heat drum.

Roger · 07-01-2015, 08:36 AM

Dang it Timm. I keep talking myself out of this, but I think your thread finally has worn me down and brought on a strong, nay uncontrollable, hunger for collection of all things Coleman. As if I needed something else to spend money on. Now, on to the search for my precious!!

TXHUNT3R · 07-01-2015, 08:39 AM

This thread has me inspired to pick up an old coleman!

Looking on craigslist now!

It's fun to get some old gear and restore it. Mike Smith is to blame. He got me started. I wanted the gear to use and I have some great gear now for the family trips or my solo trips.

Just learn to be patient on prices. Do not over pay or get into a bidding war. Coleman made a lot of this stuff and it's out there.

I got a stove from Jacksonville FL and one from San Angelo. You just have to look all over the place. Hit the garage sales in your area. Pawn shops are work a quick walk through.

I wasn't joking!

The Heater 1976 and Lantern 1984 are to be used but not sure on stove yet.

It says model 425B on it.

Does that translate to a year? Can't find year anywhere.

Goldeneagle · 07-06-2015, 09:14 AM

Look on the tabs that hold the tank on to the stove. The date is on the tabs.

2050z · 07-06-2015, 09:37 AM

The date of stove is not on the bottom of the case?

My 426D didn't have it on the case. I stripped it to bare metal and found nuthin.

2050z · 07-06-2015, 09:44 AM

I am painting my 413G case and lid. Soaking the burners and assembly in Metal Rescue.
Need to order two leather cups and my stoves will be perfect for using again.

Didn't see it, will check the tank supports this evening.

Look what I found

Arrowsmith · 07-06-2015, 09:51 AM

I got two stoves and two lanterns from 2050z. He found a bunch of good stuff and he sold me part of it. I got the two stoves and one of the lanterns burning yesterday. The remaining lantern, a 1959 model, needs a little work.

426D three burner stove
418F two burner stove
220E lantern

2050z · 07-06-2015, 09:52 AM

200A in the box and a 413? Nice!!!! Minus the dirt dobbers

Mighty fine 3 burner!!!!!!

Goldeneagle · 07-06-2015, 10:18 AM

What year is the 426D Mike? Mine has a different tank on it.

Y'all are finding pretty one's. Mine looked like it had been buried for 30 years. It came out of my dad's garage.

2050z · 07-06-2015, 10:42 AM

I found these in Bowie. Belonged to an old Royal Ranger group.

7-77 This stove had the date stamp on the bottom of the case. Most of the dates will be on the bottom of the stove case or on the bottom of the lantern font (tank).

SwampRabbit · 07-06-2015, 11:02 AM

The garage sales have not been good to me so far as far as camping gear.

I think my favorite Coleman product are the single burner stoves. What I really want to find is a single burner stove in my birth year.

2050z · 07-06-2015, 11:54 AM

I got a my birth lantern, but it would be nice to find a 502 in my birth date.

lotsofshots · 07-06-2015, 07:15 PM

I got 3 old lanterns, a stove, and a Coleman table from my wife's granddads garage just this past weekend. Here's a few pics for the brain trust...

Chadroe · 07-06-2015, 07:30 PM

Had to pull the trigger on this one today.

Never used 1973 2 mantle 228H

Any things I should be aware before firing it up?

Arrowsmith · 07-06-2015, 07:51 PM

I don't think I could fire that beauty up. I would keep that one as is and pick you up a garage sale user.

Chadroe · 07-06-2015, 07:56 PM

I've been thinking about doing that but gosh feel like after all these years she needs shine!!!

Great finds !!!

The smaller nickel font (tank) looks like a 243. They are fairly rare. The middle one looks like a 220E or 220F from the late 50s to early 60s. The big lantern could be a Quick Lite. All are in excellent condition.

Now you need to get them burning !!

It would be wrong not to let that generator hum. They were made to be used.

Chadroe · 07-06-2015, 08:01 PM

All great finds. Yah that bottom lantern is sweet!

lotsofshots · 07-06-2015, 08:13 PM

Is there a good site y'all use for resto info? Would love to get them to usable (and then display them) condition, but don't want to harm value.
