Who doesn't like a good old coleman stove?

[Joamon]

We got to hit a couple of flea markets the last few weekends. The first one I found a 413E. Well used and a little beat up. It has the legs on the bottom and the towel bar. The gas tank holds pressure and the stove does light but it needs a good cleaning. Best part, I didn't have to negotiate on the price. (didn't have the heart) He only wanted $2.00.




At the second flea market I found a 426D. It also was well used and a little beat up. I have a nice dual fuel 426. But I like these things and like some of you with the lanters, I can't resist these things. These are a little more few and far between. Haven't tried to light it yet but the tank does hold pressure. Almost forgot the best part. The price. He started out at $25.00. I left with it at $ 10.00.





Keep on lighting

I should look for one of these,I have enough light but nothing to really cook on.
Good score they should clean up nice.

Nice finds! The 413 is probably an early one...like 54-56 maybe. I've got the same one, with the copper tank, not the red as the later ones had, and the wire loop handle + painted latch. Mine is the family stove, Grandpa bought it new....I use it all the time...I won't be restoring it, it cooked my first fish. Doug

Joamon- Great scores. And yes they are all good and need a good Coleman respecting home.

We also have a copper tank one. Got it at a rummage for $2.00 in 1980. We have used it every camping trip ever since.
