    Hi

    I am a new member and wondered if anyone can help identifying the model number and date of my Coleman stove. I attach photos for reference.

    That is a Coleman Solus, pretty rare bird. Nice stove!

    Thanks, would you know the difference between a 516 and 517?

    The 516 has a "roarer" burner and the 517 has the silent burner. Yours is a 516. See here:

    I like my Coleman Solus (the three of them) very much...

    Cheers

    Welcome to CCS.
    Searching in the Library here can be very helpful.
    Here is a little about it from a 1941 catalog.
    The 516 is a roarer, and the 517 is a silent burner.
