I was digging out my Coleman Lanterns to clean them up and see if they still worked and came across this cute little Coleman stove I fired it up and it ran great after probably 15 yrs or more with the old Coleman fuel that was in it. As you can see it closes up into a small package and when open, you have 2 sizes of pots and the wrench is also a handle to pick up the hot pot, it also has a small funnel for the fuel. I remember using to make coffee in a small stove top type perkolator.

Nice! Don't recall ever seeing one of those.

Looks like a well thought out design!

Net outfit. It sure would have been nice to have back when I was a Boy Scout and we went on winter campouts. HeHe

What you have is an old WW2 Coleman 530-299 US Military Field stove. Look at the top of the pots and see if one has US or a B47 on it..

Check the guy on the right using one to light his smoke..

Those worthless things! I bought mine in 1974. It got regular use until some ten years ago. Last fall I took it down from where it hangs to get it ready in case of a power outage and the fool thing had a broken mantle that I had to replace.

That'd be nice right about now. It's in the 30's again! :shock:

Used to be called a Tankers stove. We had one on our M88 and the tanks in our Battalion also had them back in the 60s and 70s. Keith

Thanks for the information. I have one of these stoves as well, and have never been able to find out any information about it. Mine works just dandy, and I packed it for years in my motorcycle saddle bag. unc
