US Coleman 1951 Stove

I have had this Coleman Stove for over 30 years and have never used it.

A picture would be cool. That is an old stove. Oh wait, thats the year I was born. It is vintage.

[jfba]

how can I post photos of it

[ERV]

Just put one in your album, from there you can put in in. Or just tell us, we can go look. Others here can help better, I have a mac so it is easy, and I need that.

[ERV]

By the way, nice start on your build. Looks like you have a nice shop to work in.

Back in the day Coleman make some that looked just like that for the military. Then they started making them for the camping folks, and back- packers. The best place to see pictures is on ebay and the coleman site. On ebay just type in "coleman stove" it will keep you busy for a few hours.
But that might give you the bug thats going around here so be careful. Your house will fill up with stoves, lanterns, coolers and alot of other things Coleman.

London is about 2 hours south of us. I bet it is little warmer there this morn. Snowy and about 26 here. We are also in the secondary snow belt. Don't mind the snow and cold, but it is windy today.
Well better get to work, have fun looking. Wish I could play more on the computer. There are a lot of good folks on here to take over tho. They know a lot more than I do. I just get stuff at flea markets and play.
I am really into the old kerosene lanterns.

Looks like a nice compact stove that fits in it's own container. I'm still looking for one of those.

Here's where it's posted on how to add pics and urls like below.

That is a M-1950 military stove. It replaced the the Coleman 520/530 (GI Pocket Stove) stoves. They are fun little stoves. They are are either on or off, not flame adjustment. The 3 thing that you need to check before lighting are the pump leather, pump check valve & fuel pick-up check valve. Are are easy fixes. There should be a spar pump leather, graphite packing & check valve rubbler in the pump handle.

If you need help taking it apart, please ask. It took me a while to figure out how all of the pieces come apart.

Jeremy, I have had this stove for over 30 years and have never used it and never will.

I use a 413 H Coleman stove I have had for a long time.
Thank you for the info
