    Ross is right.

    Similar to the 502A.
    Made to look like the original 502. Though it is a 508 dressed to look like the 502.

    Not worth it to me but thats just me maybe.

    Cheers,
    Jeff

    There are loads of these for sale on US ebay. I read somewhere that they did not sell to well in Japan because of the poor materials used on the stove. The font is made to look like a nickel font but it is covered with some kind of spray paint that comes off. This is only what I have read and maybe someone who has one can sing its praises. Give me a 500 or 502 any day.

    The quality of these isn't anything to write home about. The standard Coleman quality but just a poor fit and finish. They also made a lantern to mark the 100 years. Sadly Coleman didn't do at great job or could have done better I think.

    But 110 years is coming up. :lol: [-o<

    Not to mention, they are overpriced for a single burner Coleman stove.

    Question: Are any Coleman stoves made in N. America anymore? I was wondering where the Centennial stoves/lanterns may have been made.
