Coleman Vintage Stoves/Lanterns/Coolers/etc......

[PresTx82]

Does anyone collect (or hoard) Coleman vintage camping gear? I've recently picked up some items and find them nostagic.

too funny! i do. don't always need it. ok, hardly ever need it. but i can't help myself. i have several coolers, an old lantern, i always watch for them at rummage sales, and occasionally surf ebay for stuff. i love it! i think it's the nostalgia thing!

I collect pressure lamps and have two old Coleman's I use camping all the time. Unfortunately for me, We are in a "drought" situation in southern Cali and for some odd reason theyare not allowed in the mountain campgrounds. Last year I was actually told to turn one off by a ranger... I asked for him to explain how it was more dangerous than a propane bottles and the answer I got was no liquid fuels, period! I then explained that propane is a liquid fuel too... No Go.

I dad has another brass one I covet that his dad bought in the early thirties. One of these days I will talk him out of it...

Was in Wally world getting the last of the goodies for the tear for our trip. A fellow in the checkout and I got to talking and I explained what I had built. He asked me if I needed any camping gear as he bought ,sold, and traded all kinds of camping goodies and was heavy into older coleman lanterns an such. I told him of this forum and asked if he would like me to let folks know he was buying and selling. He said absolutly so here goes.

I bought a 425 Colman Stove...loved it....bought two more at garage sales, not sure why?!?!!? Must be something in the air when I see one. But they are just too cool!

Anyone have a line on small propane tanks. I have been looking for a 7 to 10 # size .The 20# grill tanks are everywhere but I don't want the weight. All I will be fueling is a 2 burner propane cook top and the small one would be plenty.

Your choices are 4.25# and 11# models. You can order them online here. Frankly, IMHO a 4.25# tank is not worth the expense - two 2# disposables do the same job for less hassle.

I have a new Coleman lantern at my house and my father (saves everything) has two lantern from the late sixties/early seventies which I plan to get from him. I am going to try and dig them out the next time I am at his house.

Do you still use the liquid fuels? Most people are staying away from liquids but I still like the liquid types.

Have a 10 or 11 # bottle in picture on the right that I will sell you cheap. I think I only filled it once.


I can bring it to Brown County in January!

Broke down and bought a small one 3 weeks ago. Had several 20# but didn't want the added weight I can't remember but I think this one is 7#
But thanks ,someone will want one.

I bought a colman oven that sits on a stove at a garage sell when we were at the salamonie gathering last year, it looks like it has never been used I hadnt seen one of those in years, I think I gave $5 for it

[seahorse]

Yes.........camping wouldn't be the same without my coleman 2 burner stove and red single mantle lantern. I also have 2 green lanterns. Why three lanterns?
