For 105.80 (pounds) I'd take one...

After reading this post Colin I was on the lookout for one of the Coleman 500 stoves and a couple of weeks ago I finally came across 3 that were scrapped as they were stripped of their valves & generators but what peaked my interest is the 42 date on 2 of the tanks. It was a start so I cleaned up the best tank and made one fairly complete one out of the 3 stoves. I’ve been trying to find a valve and generator to complete it but so far there has been no luck finding any. I hope to find more next spring that may have the parts I need to complete it but for now it will fill the spot in my carrier.
Thank you for doing all the research on these stoves. Regards,Derk

The tank had a couple of hammer marks, I popped them out with air then bondoed up the ripples. Turned out ok. Don’t want it to look too pretty otherwise I would worry about it getting scratched!

Looks great. You just need the wind shield that fitted around the burner.

Derk,
Thanks, Yours are the first images that I have seen of a leaded-fuel warning plate on a Coleman 500. Very interesting! Colin

And another one......
Well I had enough parts left over to put another stove together. I’ll put it in my carrier for display so didn’t worry about fixing the dents in it.
I’m also making heat shields for them for now until I find originals. Derk

Nice work, Derk.
And I suspect if the last one is cleaned up, it will make a great plant stand in the living room! David
