And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Still have and use my original50+ yr old stove. Last used it n Wyoming at the end of Sept this year; works so much better at altitudes than it's propane cousin.
Still have two of these and three lamps. The best equipment ever made! Also have one of the small propane backpack stoves. A few years ago I found a Coleman kerosene lantern. It has a chrome tank and a round globe. Only one I have ever seen. Bubbarust
Had a kerosene stove like that and a kerosene lantern with the mantles that were always breaking because they were so delicate. Gave them to a friend when I went in the service.
white gas? made the mistake once of dumping the last little bit of fuel on the fire pile. by the time i got the mach lit and tossed,,, BOOM. those fumes don't act like regular gas.
I still have two of the old one's. The 1st cost me $5.00, a guy used it for melting his lead. The 2nd for $10. in a garage sale across the street from me. I still carry the newest one in my Winnebago, works swell. I also converted to propane, but I have kept the tank. No worry about finding a gasket. I have the original box too. No smelling up the rig and having grease splatter inside.
Very nice. LOOK at those smiles......
ReplyDeleteI prefer the Coleman/white gas stove, as pictured here, to the propane Coleman stove.
ReplyDelete"white gas" signs in vacation areas, a memory.
DeleteMy grandparents always used naptha(not sure what the diff is). The smell burning Coleman gas and fresh made toast in the morning.
DeleteIt smells like... breaksfast.

ReplyDeleteRemember it well.
ReplyDeleteMy dad bought a device that replaced the hand pump with a CO2 dispenser to pressurize the tank.
ReplyDeleteThe pump gasket was just about the only part that ever wore out. It was just a leather disc. IIRC we kept a spare or two in the glove compartment.
DeleteStill have mine since the mid-70's Haven't fired it up since. Eventually would like to find it a good home.
ReplyDeleteI had an adapter so I could use the 1lb propane bottles instead of the gas & tank assy when I wanted.
ReplyDeleteAnd there is another adapter -- a hose that lets you use the big tanks instead of the little 1lb bottles
