So I finally finished my reproduction heat shields for my stove. They will have to do until I find a set of originals. Thanks to Rob Love for giving me a lead on a generator for the stove. Now I just need to find the fitting to hold it in place and also a valve assembly. There’s always something to look for!
I’m also looking for my No 2 cooker a grill and one of the folding legs if anybody have in their spare pile of parts?? Thanks,Derk

It figures...........
I no sooner finished replicating the heat shields for both my Coleman stoves when on Saturday I find 2 more stoves and they are complete with heat shields!
I went through a lot of trouble making them but the nice thing is I now have originals and I no longer have to look for valves & generators for the ones I have. In fact the one good stove doesn’t have a dent in it anywhere! The other dented one will be for parts to complete my stove with the warning plate strapped to the tank. It just proves if you look long enough, the parts eventually show up! I even found an aluminum Wartime dated mess tin that I have been wanting to find for some time now. Only the large outer one but I’ll be hunting for the inner one! The looking never ends! Derk

Older thread I know but I thought i would pop in and say thanks for a great job on the timeline/history
 I've dipped in to it a few times over the years and some of the links have been a great back-door into my own research  I am on a similar mission with the No.1/Hydra, been working on a working history for a few years now, more info and photos come to light regularly as collections are scanned, its great! Cheers, Alec

Another Coleman 500……..
Found this one last weekend at an antique sale in Winnipeg. It’s 1940 dated but Crome finish and made in the United States of America.

And yet…….
I’m still looking for the Hydra cooker folding stands and that elusive cooking pot & lid with the strap that the Coleman 500 stores in for my Mk1 carrier!
I know they’re out there somewhere! Derk
