Found at a garage sale last weekend, .25 cents, removed the remaining paint, a little buffing with that fine "Solvol Autosol" metal polish. Does anyone know when this funnel was made ? Cheers
What a lovely funnel after its been polished - copper too! Hmmmmm. Don't know but sure is a nice collection.
Hello Stelllar, How is the weather out west? Nice funnel and great price! If you look at page 3 or 3 of this 1941 catalog you will see one just like yours. https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/10560 Hard to tell of the age without any markings. But I would say 1940's Cheers, Jeff
Hi Jeff, Thanks for the 1941 Coleman catalog link, the funnel illustrated is similar in construction and materials used, the weather here is rather wet & windy with another week of the same expected ;-{ Cheers'
Hi Stelllar, my Coleman No.0 is not as shiny as your example but I think it is the same: https://classiccampstoves.com/threads/8972 Best Regards, Kerophile.
Hi there, Thanks for the link and yes it is the same, a small usable gem, the shine is quickly oxidizing as non coated copper will, although a quick dip in the lemon juice will bring it back, I enjoy dark brass and copper stoves and accessories but also enjoy bringing them back to life at least once. All the best........
Hello, Thanks for the pictures! I had one like yours but made in the States. I haven't been able to find it. The weather here has been great, though they tell me this week will be more seasonal norm. I was out in B.C. last week. Don't miss the rain. I guess you don't have to shovel rain though. Cheers, Jeff
