Recent Finds on the Coleman Trail

Its been a long summer. The chainsaw hasn't been getting much rest cleaning up from the last big storm and now the electric start on the ATV has given up the ghost. 
Taking some time off to recharge I hit the garage sale trail on the weekend in search of Coleman's.

Here are a couple of recent finds!


This 228e was sitting in a pile of things by the roadside with a "free" sign on it!


Here is a Coleman "G.I." Pocket Stove Model 530
It comes nestled in two cooking pots.


Six "Grate Bars" unfold to hold a cooking pot


This stove is missing a pot handle / wrench  and funnel that 
came with it originally but is in mint condition. It will burn either coleman fuel or gasoline.
The 530 is a civilian version of a military stove that Coleman designed for the U.S. forces in 
world war two.
It's my most amazing stove find ever!
