Here's one from Masback Hardware, also dated 1936, where the company apparently had given up on updating the image for a while and just struck the...
For the 1936 model year, the Coleman Jobbers catalog (with prices effective Jan. 1, 1936) shows the model 2H stove, which they had very likely...
Made from 1928-31, this is the deluxe version of the model 9D. To make it stand out as deluxe, it has nickel plated legs, an oven, and a fancier...
This stove was produced in Wichita for model year 1935 only. This is the first model Coleman made with the "modern" removable fuel tank with the...
This 3 burner was produced in Wichita in model years 1951-53. It has nearly the same features as the 426, with a redesigned case. The fuel tank,...
BTW, the "Coleman" logo on the burner caps shows up on the 2E/9E stoves, which came out from 1931-33. The #1 is 1923-24.
Those burner caps are replacements. The originals tended to split with use. The replacement is a two part piece, one fits into the burner, and can...
I think I'll try to show up for this one, if only to see HikerDuane geeking out among his own tiny stove kind instead of with a bunch of Coleman...
What Cottage Hill Bill said pretty much sums it up. A Coleman Company anniversary newspaper says that Floyd Cole was in ill health and wanted out...
Back to the Townley ad...while looking at more eBay catalog pages, I have seen a Townley ad with two different dates with different years - "23"...
Not a habit in any way. There may have been some shenanigans that could possibly be tied (but hasn't been) to the Los Angeles branch back in the...
That Townley ad (back on page 6) shows a "date" early in 1922, but I do not think it is meant to be a publication date. I have copies of a Townley...
Did you try the Lantern King?
Often you need to leave the lighting lever up for longer than 1 minute or you will get yellow flames. It may also help to light the second burner...
I agree, it sounds like it's no longer picking up fuel. If it has been sitting for a long time, the fuel could be old. Try what was mentioned...
From the earliest days, that bar was meant to support the lid so it could be used as a tray, or so the oven (most very early Coleman stoves had an...
That was the new guy in the red Coleman shirt. He's since picked up four more stove stands so more of those Classic (Coleman) Camp Stoves (and a...
OOPS! Still learning the culture here...Yes, I left out the word "here" - I meant in (at least parts of) the U.S. we use the term "Lamp Loon" to...
Interesting - I've never met people who are so stovecentric that lanterns don't even rate a notice! That's a 242C, one of Coleman's finest single...
It was warm, but not too warm, probably mid 80's. On the way out though, I could see what looked like a cloud of smog over Palm Springs. It turned...
