    Just picked up this old Coleman stove at an estate sale locally. It was sitting in the weeds. Trying to find out how rare this stove is and want it to go to right place, not just sit in my garage forever... Are there 2F's out there? Thanks!

    Very good shape for sitting in the weeds.

    We have a section to ask for valuations. Was this also posted on the Coleman site? Some forums dont allow cross posting for sale.

    Just trying to get some info. on it. Not posted for sale until I know if this is a common stove. I think it belongs in a museum, but that’s only my opinion. It may not be that special. I don’t want to break any rules for sure. Thanks

    Museum? Maybe but some of the early lamps and arc lanterns are probably more coveted as they are the first offerings from Coleman. I think the folks on the Coleman site could give you a more definitive answer.

    Museum worthy or not, I dig it! Jerry

    If you are planning on being in the Santa Cruz area and want some help getting it running, send me a PM.

    That’s looks to be in pretty good condition. Coleman collectors forum will tell you if they are rare or not but won’t give you a valuation. I know a few of them have this stove. I wouldn’t mind having one for my collection. Good find. Is this your first stove?

    Thanks for sharing this. Thinking that was big money in ‘34.

    I have too many stoves and sold a few to friends and co-workers as they all want a stove in their inventory of stuff. This old one is special. I just folded it back up and will probably attempt to sell it someway. If you know people who own same model, then not super rare.
    Thanks
