The Coleman 416B was made during the 1938-39 model years, replacing the 2B and succeeded by the 416C, which was the last of the built-in oven models. It is a medium-sized two burner stove, between the smaller #4/6/412/417/425's and the larger #3/413 stoves. It has the cast iron "Wind-proof" or "Hi-Power" burners and a pump with a positive shut-off and check valve with a ball bearing. The fuel tank is Solodur metal, which is coated steel. There is a three-piece fuel cap. The difference between the 416B and 416C is that the 416B has a Bakelite knob on the auxiliary burner control and the 416C has a steel "key", and the 416C has a black painted oven. They also have slightly different pumps.
Dang nice. Very similar, even the color, to my 2G? stove. The only easy-to-spot difference is the winged fuel cap on 2G? Wonder if that oven above has even been used. My 2G has burn marks on the front of the oven, much like the one on the side of that stove.
Thanks Keith, the 2G should be brown and have a pinned pump shaft, Band-a-blu burners and nickel-plated legs, but if you've got a green one (that hasn't been repainted) with decal I'd love to see it! The 3F and 6F from the same era also have been found in green (about 50/50 brown to green), so I wouldn't be shocked if the 2G/9G did too, but I've never seen one. Here's mine: Coleman 2G To identify 1930's Coleman stoves that have been repainted or are missing identifying decals, try this: Stove Field Guide - International Coleman Collectors Club
Mine has the old cast burners, and no pinned pump. I'll have to drag it out of the camp trailer and get a good look at it again. There was a bit of discussion over on CCF as to what it was. It was advertised as a 2G.
Yes, I got involved in that discussion. You were going to post a pic of the oven rack but never got around to it. I just searched the CCF for that post and found some photos. It's got the "Wind Proof" burners, not Band-a-Blu, so I'm voting 2H or 2B, depending on what sort of pump/cv it has, and assuming they haven't been replaced at some point. With the green paint on the auxiliary knob, I think someone touched up the paint, is the decal outline still there? Maybe paint can be gently removed (find a solvent that works) over the decal - if you dare?
IT has a CV, but a clue, it was not in very tight. Never had one come out that easy, makes me wonder. I'm sure the rack is not original, at least I've never seen one like it. I'll get a picture to show you.
Here is the tray in mine. I drilled the small holes, I put little clips in the help hold everything together.
