One of my very favorites a 530 pocket stove built in 1947, was issued to my Grandfather by the Army Air Corps.

It's all original and took quite a bit of work to get it functioning again.
Found at a yard sale for $20. Have seen them go in flee bay for over $200 not that i'm looking to sell.

Got my globe cleaned up, just need to replace the knob I just broke! 
I just got these oldish stainless Coleman cups. Anybody know anything about them?

@Jeff Lloyd I don't know the history of them but here's what I know....be Very careful drinking liquids from them. You'll burn your lips as if you kissed the stove itself!!!!

All I know is I'm now wanting some!!
Replaced the generator in my beater 288a to get the leak fixed where it attaches to the valve. I also opened the valve while it was off and blew whatever trash was causing it to leak out so it doesn't constantly push fuel through after it's shut off when the tank is pressurized.

Would removing the pump valve and blowing air into the fuel holding tank be another good way to clear out any obstructions or am I blowing smoke and not understanding the problem ?

It's not actually the pump check that's the issue, it's the seat of the control valve had trash in it and it wouldn't completely seal. If you didn't vent the tank you'd come back to a wet lantern and a really exciting time trying to relight it with the generator standing full of liquid fuel! O_O

I have a line on a 2 burner newer Coleman stove for $10, seems some Spring Breakers left it behind so the owner is selling it cheap!
