Hey all! I recently purchased a vintage Kelty backpack. Upon looking inside when I got home, I found this MSR Model 9 camp stove. It has a white pump, original tags, etc. Trying find out what it is worth?
I want to see the backpack...... Cool that it has the tags, has stove been fired?? Duane might know, did they refurbish these?
Have never seen that key tag before, square knob is early with that ground notch. I’d buy if I didn’t already have too many, including even earlier pumps. Stove is used, note flame ring and primer material under burner. Duane
Can't give a value on the MSR gear. I bought a new red Kelty A4 and Mountineer frame in 1970 at the Kelty Store in Glendale, CA in 1970. Think I paid $100 for the rig. In 1994, I bought a very lightly used Olive Kelty pack and frame like yours for $50. You might look up Kelty Packs on ETSY under Vintage Camp Gear or Classic Backpacking. That's the best indicator of current prices. I have bought vintage Sigg fuel bottles and red MSR bottles at thrift stores for $2 each -- when they had no clue that there's a difference between a mundane water bottle and an approved fuel bottle. Last year I got an MSR Whisperlite and pump from Antarctic Surplus for $40. I already had the above fuel bottle.
