I will have to look for a grabber too, then. Cleaned off the 71 a little this AM and it has the #200862, so it was made in 1962. Now it is off...
Thanks for the lead on the windscreen, Jeff. I went ahead and bought it. Will dig thru the gunk tomorro!
I recently acquired two stoves and have some questions I hope someone in the group can answer. First, I have an Optimus 99 that seems to differ...
Sounds as though this type of bell was quite common for a number of years. The stove makes a nice addition to my collection, though, and it puts...
Have a new Primus 71 - this one with a slightly different twist. [ATTACH] This stove has the stamp "AK" on the bottom of the fount which makes...
A year and a half ago I purchased a Coleman 418(B) 3 burner stove. It lacked a fuel tank/generator assembly, but the box and burner assembly was...
Gary, if you have a NRV tool that will extract from a '30's Coleman Cabin Stove (it would have to be about 14" long to reach!), please bring it!....
I do have the pot lifter, just forgot to include it. Question: With the older/smaller versions of the cook set, how did one store the stove...

Hey thanks, Presscall. Took a look at your post and was able to figure out how to re-attach the (now empty) cartridge.
Doc Mark, I have a deal for you. If you get to Diamond Lake this summer I will bring you a cartridge. I have 4 unopened ones and the original...
Well, now I have done it! Managed to get the canister off the stove, but looking at it I have not idea how to re-install one. Here are some more...

Thanks for the ideas everyone. I like the baggie idea for the Optimus 45 as a temporary solution. The kid's lunch box, well... I have this image...
As one of those folks who would like to take his brass stoves out on day hikes more often, I am struggling with how to conveniently pack it in my...
