Vintage 1963 Coleman 442A Aluminum body 2 burner stove
Posted: Sun Jul 03, 2011 9:27 amAsking $100 obo - in very good working condition.
Not much need for it now that I have the small Cadet with the stove inside. This stove is ready to use. Requires nothing but fuel.
Here is a link to the owner manual: http://www.oldcolemanparts.com/resources/scans/442A.pdf
The 442A Aluminum body stove was only made in 1963. It was considered much more lightweight than the steel body units, but it's still the size of 413 stove so not worthy of backpacking. This is a full size 2 burner stove.The stove is significantly lighter than similar models with the steel case. It is plain aluminum colouring with red wings - Canada Day!
The relatively light weight is what made this particular model of interest to me.
A few interesting features of this stove are:
1. The two "wings" that act as a wind shield are made of aluminum rather than steel.
2. The "feet" are also aluminum and pull downward from the stove (see picture). They are surprisingly sturdy.
3. The fuel tank is larger than that of a 425D; it is the same size as my three-burner beast.
I replaced the generator (new Coleman part) and found a new/old stock tank for it. It runs and works perfectly. It is a white gas (Coleman fuel, Naphtha, unleaded gas etc) burner, so the type you pump the valve and light her up. It is in very good condition. I scrubbed it down pretty good to get some of the old food stains off it. I used it for 2 seasons until the Cadet came into my life.
Here's a link to some photos:

Shipping can be a potential issue so take heed. I am located in the Toronto area.
I am also looking for a First Up 10x10 screen shelter I would take on trade.
Thanks
