I wonder how @WillG is doing? He hasn't appeared to have logged in for a while.

I enjoyed his repair shop exploits.

Everthing is going to be ok. That's all I know

It sounds like he's busy with a new relationship...

Not exactly the centerpieces of my collection but some hard to find items especially the electric lantern, one of only 246 produced by long time Coleman employee Jim Nichols.View attachment 421469View attachment 421471View attachment 421470

Very cool - I've never seen a wooden tank on one of those before...

Well JJ, you have that figured out well! Good to hear from you!

Two military stoves, A WW2 era 1944 Coleman 520 or M-1941 on the left and a much later M-1950 made by Wyott in 1976 on the right. Both fully restored, repainted and working perfectly

Sweet! Does the Coleman model run only on Coleman fuel? I would think it would be kind of a pain to have to use a special and pricey fuel in wartime.

Nope, it can run on just about anything, however you do need to pre heat it with meths if you are using kero or similar.
