You can't even get a valve that fits it. The threads are smaller that modern tanks.

So somebody's going to pay a lot of money for a decoration! :roll:

Yep & I believe it a it only would work with one or 2 stove models. We had a guy around here selling one with the stove. It started at $150. He ended up selling it 5 months later for $25.

Yes they all work. When I lived in St Louis the big sporting goods stores use to have Colmen Clinics. You could bring any Colmen item in they would get it working. All it would cost is the part(s) they put on. These guys were good. I learned alot watching and doing for myself after that. I have one old lantern I found in 25 feet of water when I was diving...spear fishing. You can see it alittle behind the second lantern in my pic. It has a yellow painted collar.... I did that when I was a kid...lol. It still had pressure in the tank. Inside the collar it had 5 clams about 1 1/2" in diameter. It was half buried in the mud. That one has lots of value for me.

We have been using this vintage Coleman Oven while camping to bake zucchini bread, biscuits, corn muffins and cookies. While it is not in use, it is a canned good storage cabinet in the galley.

Really a nice oven guys!!! I've got one, but it's a crappy fold up one, works well if you want to burn a pie however! Doesn't fold up so well anymore, heat does things to the thin metal. Yours looks a lot beefier! Thanks for the pic! I'd like to find one of those. Doug

Some friends had this grill at a gathering last spring. I just love it! I think they said it was NOS - in the box!

Doug, the 228 has been to a couple gatherings already.

Jeremy, I haven't done anything with the AGM yet. Now that I have it out of storage, I suppose I should do something with it.
