This woman has a Coleman setup; 500A stove, propane lantern and cooler:

How about this? Even the Coleman Heatmaster gets a page.

Seems like someone here on CCF was asking about this Port-A-Camp Kitchen recently. It's got that Coleman-looking tank and generator. SWL_Port_A_Camp.JPG Was it meant for propane or did someone convert it? I wonder if you could have robbed a Coleman stove of the tank assy and used it on the Port-A-C...

I didn't see where you said you had neatsfoot oil or is that the shoe oil?. That's definitely one you should add, IMHO.

Hmmm, "Station wagon Living" - these days people that do that are called homeless... (Not by me, but...) I hadn't heard that before but I can see it. All of the gear looks like Overlanding to me. That's partially why I find it fun, but also, my family vacations from the late 1960s until the late 19...

I have one of the many other versions of this Stesco stove (Lil' Injun Scout), but I didn't think it was meant to burn white gas. I thought maybe it was kero or alcohol. Go figure! I haven't lit it yet because I wasn't sure which fuel I wanted to use. The only caution they give is to fill it only ha...

Who knew the Coleman 500A was handy on hikes? I mean . . . this was a decade after Coleman stopped making the 530 Pocket Stove and Coleman had made the 520, M-1942 and the M-1950. Didn't it occur to them to make a smaller packable stove for the general public, by now? That seems odd. The picnic stov...

I had questions about who and when this oddball stove was made when I bought it about 5 years ago. Low and behold, here it is! I can now confirm what I thought, that it is an AGM and made as early as 1957. I can also see that it likely had the round base instead of the wire base. I happen to have ne...

Not too long ago, I was searching for information about Turm-Sport alcohol stoves and found a post over at Classic Camp Stoves which showed a photo from a book (part of a 2-book set) call Ford Treasury of Station Wagon Living. I was getting things ready for my own blog post about the Turm-Sport and ...

Sheesh! Didn't even get a chance to look at it in detail.

It is getting harder to get worked up over much of anything, don't camp or bp like I would like, winter snow camping is more of a struggle. I've only missed two times the last 8 years maybe of not getting a bp trip in for a given month. My foot is hurting, so planned bp trips in Oregon may not happ...

A coworker hiked the 75 kilometre west coast trail on Vancouver Island 6 or 7 years ago. Her pack was almost 100 pounds. She doesn't weigh much more than that. She saw a guy packing so ultralight he was barefoot. Another coworker did the same trail about 20 years ago. He saw one guy start the trail...

Great pictures, Steve and they sure take me back to time spent in the Winds with my boys. Other than the 40lb pack…mine was never that light, even if it was a weekend trip! 😁 How far in and did you folks have the place to yourselves?

Thanks for all the comments. It makes a nice day hike too, if you're ever in that area.

I was on a 3 day backpacking trip returning today. The destination was Lily Lake in Colorado's Sangre de Cristo range and just north of the Fourteener, Blanca Peak. https://i.postimg.cc/bYQZPZW3/20220701-191342.jpg It rained just after we arrived and we had a mix of clouds and sun all weekend. https...

Coldwaterpaddler

Agreed. I also have the short pump with the loop handle for my Prentiss Wabers stove.

Coldwaterpaddler

The only Model 9 I saw on Terry Marsh's site doesn't have an integrated pump. Could you post a photo of the stove and tank? Maybe we could figure it out from there. Also, please post a photo of your pump selection. That might also help.

Ohhhh... that's what that hole is for. Been wondering about that. Thanks!

Coldwaterpaddler

I do it quite a bit. I'm still not sure why it is discouraged. Using the tip cleaner wire is how suitcase stoves adjust the flame, so why is it wrong for a lantern? Heat? Pressure?

Coldwaterpaddler

I'd say yes. It's bringing more money because 1940 was the year it came out in the US. I believe production began in Canada in 1937. I have one 500A, but if I were to buy a 500, it would most likely be a 1940. I would also say that I think most collectors are not interested in paying those high pric...

Welcome from Colorado! Fixing my Coleman 400A stove is what got me going on this stuff. Since you've already been there I'll bet you have a better idea this time where you want to go with it.

Coldwaterpaddler

Nice! I loaded my pack last night, but it rained most of the night and is supposed to rain most of today, too. A little jealous of you getting out there, but it looks great! Good for you guys.

Coldwaterpaddler

I have been developing these replacement decals for all those models (401, 402, 4521, 4522, 4523, 4521-A, 4522-A, 4523-A, 4821, 4822, 4823). They are waterslide decals so they look very much like the originals.

Any idea where to get a replacement decal?

Are you looking for a decal for 4523, 4523-A or 4823?

Coldwaterpaddler

Fire it up. I'm curious if the secondary burners burn the same as the primary. The 'wedge' certainly does, unlike Coleman's. Unfortunately that won’t happen for a bit, Jim. The knobs are stuck and I didn’t get too aggressive with them. Once it’s up and running, a money shot will be shared. Preway u...

Those are nice, albeit a bit large. My youngest son of 28, uses the light-green, 2-burner version (402) which I believe is slightly older than that model and has the cast iron grate. He --REALLY -- likes that stove and takes it everywhere in his car. It seems like that 4523-A would be a good complim...

So that's what happened to my father's lantern! I should thank that guy for finding it! Just kidding of course, however, the story reminded me that in the late 60s, when I was about 5 or 6 years old we were camped west of Yellowstone. It began to rain sometime after breakfast so my father put the Co...

Coldwaterpaddler

It looks pretty good, IMO. I don't ever see those around here. Nice!

Coldwaterpaddler

Another welcome from Colorado. I think you'll find that there are a bunch here who share your same interests of hunting, fishing, guns, cars, knives, etc. So, add in a few GPAs (stoves, lanterns, heaters, lamps, irons) and you're there. Enjoy!

Definitely, still need a pre-heat, albeit not nearly as long of one. Won't be as bright as kero, but still plenty bright.

Awesome and good to know. I really like my 237A and of course the 290A.

Are you looking at the older ones with the silver tank or the ones with the black tank?

My silver one (5025) does not have a tag. My 457G does have tag however, it does not have the G even though it does have the grate.

Didn't you just find a 290A with the deluxe globe? Man, you're on a roll! Congrats!

Looks like a total rework by a previous owner. I never considered a fire extinguisher, or a propane bottle, to replace an original, but rusted out suitcase stove tank, but if you've got the skills I bet it could work just fine.

Coldwaterpaddler

I never noticed until today that the suitcase stove was a 3-burner. Go figure! Looks like you had the place to yourselves. Nice!

Classic Colorado scenery that I never get tired of looking at.

I've restored a couple of these to working condition. The burner isn't supposed to go up and down. The packings likely need replacement, or the packing retainer ring is missing, and/or the valve stem is stuck in the wheel, so it's pushing up the burner, but all of that is fixable. It was actually me...

Anyone have any info on these burner caps off a 9C? One is brass and what one would expect. All the photos I've seen of 2Cs and 9Cs show them with two of these brass caps. But this one's also got a cast iron cap. My first though was that the cast iron cap had been taken from a later stove, but on c...
