1989 Coleman 286A

That is pretty cool. Somewhere I think I have a little copper funnel as well, Trouble is things are all over, Mostly stored at my moms, I really need to get over there and try to find everything. That is a nice score brother.

@DJMoore-001yea I thought so too, he helped me out alot in the Coleman collection world for sure. how often does one come across a copper funnel with the first title, let alone all of the other things he gave me plus giving me paperwork for the other lanterns that speaks volumes of what kind a person he is.

@@Traillesstaken I think to find the Coleman stoves, Lanterns and all the other gear you are looking for it is going to be hard to find, Ebay sellers are trying to make a living. If I was going to collect, Anyway for out here. I would be hitting yards sales, Estate sales, Storage unit sales.During the summer I can pick up the stoves for 5 to 10 bucks, Laterns from 5 to 20, If it is a old timer they will have made cases for them to store them. What happens is the Man will have passed and the kids have no clue everything was stored together because it all goes together, So the funnels gets set in with other funnels or whatever the case maybe. If I had known how easy it is to make them run again, I would have a stack of them. But like everyone else, I have 4 or 5 of them sitting in a stack because they don't fire now. I would start hitting yard sales back there to see what you can come across. Not every sale is gonna have them, But the ones that do, May have multiple items you are looking for.

@DJMoore-001 flea markets are about all they got around here, you might see a yard sale around easter or something like that maybe one or two during the summer but yeah most youngters dont even know whats what anymore

SWEEEET Lantern! 😎 Stack em' to the ceiling..lol

[@Traillesstaken]

@user-fs3ib1su7x I plan too, now I just need to start looking for the better quality items to add to the collection

[@patrickhall3878]

The accessories can be the hardest to find, try finding side chefs for your stove you will be shocked at the price.

[@Traillesstaken]

@patrickhall3878 oh yea I have already looked them up i was like really

[@mdenny6044]

Now you need a Canadian 335

[@Traillesstaken]

@mdenny6044 I was looking at one of them today but decided to get the 1st series of the 425 two burner stove with a brown tank instead

[@Firencoffee]

Nice lantern and bonus extras! Is that the Canadian version of a 288?

[@Traillesstaken]

@Firencoffee it is made in Kansas I had never heard of the 286 before last nite

[@Firencoffee]

I don’t know what I was thinking. I have a 286. I think the straight globe threw me off 😅

[@chrisanderson9542]

You put a 220 generator in 200 in better light

[@Traillesstaken]
