Any of you folks have the operating procedure (how to light) for this stove. This stove was made by the National Stamping & Electric Works Co. After searching I have found out that It was made in the 1920's to early 30's. I have pumped it up and it holds pressure but what happens some fuel trickles down causing a bit of uneasiness to light. If any of you have this stove perhaps oneself can send me an exploded view of the area right below the burner area. This will help me determine if maybe I'm missing something. I am also looking for a pump very similar to the ones that were used to pump up the old Coleman lamps. My email address is: punwin9179@comcast.net Thanks, Peter
Welcome to the Forum, Peter, The name means nothing to me but it may well do to other contributors who will read your post by the by. In the meantime a picture of the stove in Q. would help no end. It is worth, as the sayin goes, '... a thousand words.' If you can't post one directly you can email it to me (use the email link below) and I will post it for you.
Hi Peter, welcome aboard As Ian said, send a picture in so we can all have a look at the stove, and help you get it up and running. A lot of members have much experience with Coleman product, and again, any information you can give us, will help sort out your needs All the best Rik
National Stamping & Electric Works Co. No.2 Handy Camp Stove. Doesn't ring any bells with me - any ideas anyone?
Most pumps from the lights and irons will work on this. As fare as I know there is only 2 types. 1 will press on (as your stove is) the other screws on. As for the lighting of it , I would try the same way as the modern Colemans. Personaly I would think you have a leak from a pipe or some thing.
I thought it looked familiar ,it is a Nulite http://terrence.marsh.faculty.noctrl.edu/lantern/uslantnp.html I have one of their lanterns. Dan
Me thinks this was not used as a camp stove even though it is listed as such. With that pot support design I've a feeling this one was used by a plumber to melt lead and heat his coppers. lance
