Wow. Nice find!

Some pliers - preferably needle-nose pliers, screwdrivers - both flat and phillips or the multi-tip kind, a couple small adjustable wrenches, a pair of scissors or a knife to trim mantle ties, some painter’s tape (the blue stuff) to help save your paint if you’re having to pry against a painted surf...

I love living history! Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!

isubando

Oh, man! That’s great for you, but I’m really jealous. I’ve been looking for a nice 202 where I didn’t have to throw a ton of money at it, and you go and find one for $50! So, if you want to match that lantern/globe set with an age-appropriate lantern/globe set, I’ll be glad to send you a lantern ap...

I assume these are Model 5114 lanterns with the tapered globes, is that correct? I might actually have a place to get some of those globes, but let me double check. And out of curiosity, is there only one bale between the two lanterns? And do the vents have the brackets underneath (I think this mode...

I’m all about user 200A’s, so I’ll take the two short hats: 9/76 and 8/68. PM coming.

Sidney, my uncle, is not a dead guy.

But, my Uncle Sidney may be dead soon. We’ll just have to see what the next link brings.

Very nice addition to any collection - stovie or not. Enjoy!

Definitely looks like she's made herself at home in your chair. A happy dog in a happy home. What could be better?

So, what other kinds of end punctuation do you feel is necessary? I've been quite satisfied with the base three of period, question mark, and exclamation point. Works for me!

For what it's worth, I thought the 426D had the straight grates and diamond cutouts until '67 when they changed the grate design to circles like this example: https://i.postimg.cc/XJLSYHcf/Stove426-D-1967.jpg Then, in 1968, they added the additional support to the circles in the grate so that they l...

And for those who might be curious, this is how I end up using them while camping with the scouts. Some get strung together for a different kind of "string lights". As LED's, I don't have to worry about accidentally catching grass on fire in the prairie areas around here or potentially damaging the ...

isubando

I’ll take them as I do use them with LED lights. They make great additions to our Boy Scout car camping adventures. PM coming.

Looks like you got a great deal there. You might use a little Soft Scrub with bleach to get that interior clean. I find that deep cleaning with Soft Scrub between regular soap & water cleanings helps to keep the interior closer to white and gets rid of many stains. Ultimately, do what you feel is be...

Welcome aboard from Eastern Kansas! Looks like you've got some nice toys. Curious to know a little more about the "trumpets" from your list of things you like. I played trumpet for years, but when I had children and began helping with their activities, the trumpet playing took a back seat. Now that ...

Very cool location and nice setup. Always a good time to spend time with the family.

Do you happen to know what weight is marked on the containers that work? I might have some available, but I'll need to check. I don't actually drink coffee, but either our church or the scout troop might have some containers. If I know what size to verify, then I can see what might work for shipping.

As Mike says, they have staff monitoring/managing the on-line bids. In fact, they have a whole crew supporting the auction. It's a pretty smooth setup where their staff bring things to Ron as he sits in front of the camera, and he basically runs the auction like an in-person auction. The on-line bid...

Looks like the perfect place to be when the cold winds of winter come a blowing.

isubando

For what it's worth, I see all six of them.

I saw this review the other day. Perhaps it can provide some insight into the features of the various model single-burner stoves. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XrfZC_y3C3Y Personally, I think most any stove can do a good job with typical meal options. The trick is to have the stove in good to prime ...

isubando

Very nice! I love a good 242 as well. Congratulations on a great find.

isubando

Wow! That’s really cool!

isubando

I’ll take it. I have been looking for one of these. PM coming.

isubando

I could use a couple of good runners, so I’ll take them. PM coming.

isubando

Well, duh! That is a no-brainer. Glad it's gone to a good home. I see a bright future for that 242.

isubando

I’ll give it a go, so I’ll take it. PM coming.

isubando

Nice job saving one from the junk pile. Congratulations on a great find.

Out of curiosity, what is the date on the bottom?

isubando

Nice! Sweet score. I like these 413E's for all kinds of uses, and yours is in great shape. Added bonus with the fuel can as well as the operation instructions tag. Congratulations! And welcome to the journey of becoming a true "stovie". I think of it as a journey since each stove we find brings us a...

Intercourse Pa is where it’s at.. And don’t forget the town Paradise, PA. They have shirts, postcards, etc. that say Intercourse is on the road to Paradise. I used to live near that neck of the woods (Kennett Square, PA) when I was in high school. However, my mom wouldn’t let me have one of those s...

isubando

Any guesstimate on the year?

isubando

I need to get some user 200 globes, so PM coming for the three china 200 globes.

isubando

Wow! Great finds! I look forward to seeing more pics.

isubando

Nice! Hopefully, with just a little work, you’ll have a bright new addition to your budding collection.

isubando

Pretty cool pic. Definitely from another era. As far as Boy Scouts, Lord Baden-Powell had his first scout group back in 1907 and released his book "Scouting for Boys" in 1908. Here in the US, we started Boy Scouts in 1910, and we got to celebrate the centennial across the country in 2010. So, if thi...

My light up in their honor.

May we never forget.

isubando

Everything arrived today. Thanks again! Now, I just need to start the hunt for parts to make these complete once again. Of course, I could use these as parts for my other 5101 lanterns, but isn't it more fun to go on the hunt to make them work again? Fortunately, most of the remaining parts are fair...

isubando

Holy cow! That's a great deal. Good snag by William.

isubando

It’s always the backstory that makes each lantern or stove more enjoyable to use. Your persistence paid off. Congratulations on another job well done! Clearly you did a great job raising your daughter too.

Order of the Arrow is the national honor society for the Boy Scouts program. A scout is nominated by fellow scouts, and then they must go through their “Ordeal” campout (a campout where the scout provides service while learning about the ideals of providing such cheerful service) to become a “full” ...

isubando

Nice! Fortunately, OA members are typically the more careful scouts who will respect and appreciate those classic lanterns. I let scouts use mine from time to time, but I swap the original globes for MIC versions and stay to the ~60 year or newer lanterns. You’re quite the gentleman to share your cl...

isubando

I have a soft spot for these lanterns, and I have a few bent/broken cages, so I'll jump on this one. PM coming.

isubando

Looks like a fine stove to me. Nice catch! Appears to be a good match to my JC Higgins lantern as far as the color and condition. They’re more fun to use than just look at, so go use it in good health and good dinners!

isubando

Nice find! And yes, I would appreciate a tutorial or documentation of your tear down and reassembly. Hopefully, someday I’ll have one of these and can reference your documentation when I need to work on it. However, yours looks pretty good now, so don’t know how much work you’ll actually need to do ...

As an Iowa State alum living in Lawrence, I have to bite my tongue when I see Jayhawk things. However, since both of my kids go to KU (and I did try to get them to go to ISU), I have to say, nice job on the custom paint jobs! You’ll have to use your Jayhawk lantern tonight with their first football ...

We love Roaring River. We've never stayed there but made a couple daytrips to get in a little trout fishing during our annual trip with friends to Table Rock Lake. ... I love staying in Campground 1 back in the trees. It's a great space to feel like you're really disconnected from the rest of the w...

Here’s my setup this weekend. This is my annual VW Show weekend in Eureka Springs, Arkansas. I’m usually on my own, so I get to play with whatever toys I bring along. I stay in Roaring River State Park just across the border in Missouri. It’s a great park with a spring-fed river (20.4 million gallon...

A little late to the photo game, but here is how I’m using mine this weekend. Hope you’ve got some good ideas on how to use yours. Now go out there and camp!

isubando

To the best of my knowledge, you have a stand for either stoves or coolers. Since it’s adjustable, you can fit anything from a 425 two-burner to a 426 three-burner. I’ve used mine with all of those stoves as well as a variety of coolers. I’ll be using them tomorrow at my campsite, and I can post som...
