Vintage Coleman and other stuff....

Well I guess that is why they are selling so cheep on ebay. They do look pretty but have no use if you can not get the fule. All it is good for it to hold down a shelf in the garage and not for me. I will have to pass on this type of stove. I will have to just look for a 502? Thanks for all the information.

Just so you know, the 502 is only 5 1/2" wide at the top of the burner.

Thanks I know that they are small. I do have 3 Coleman stoves 2-2 burner and one 3 burner all use liquid fuel. The 502 I will use to keep the joe hot. But I use the do`s for most all of my cooking when camping.
thanks

Wow now this is an epic thread, I just read through the entire thread.

Sure is. Some of the older images are no longer hosted, looks like.... but Doug had some pics up of his lanterns, then another of his stoves running, scattered all over his porch and yard, burning deep blue circles of flame in the deep evening twilight... that's what got me going five years ago after I'd started pondering my teardrop build when wondering if I was going to use propane or white gas.

Here's a quick overview of my GPA collection in that time:

From this...





To this...



And I've added to my collection since.

Now to finish the trailer so there's a covered galley to put this stuff into!

Oh, yea... there's been a wedding (four years ago), a home purchase (two years ago) and some target shooting (going on all the time), too, since I joined.

Back to the drawing board!
