Score!!!!

So I did a little garage sale browsing on my way home from work. The place was relatively quite, ie... no foot traffic, and they were about to start dragging their items in for the night. Ended up with two white gas Colemans, three gallons of white gas, two pump rebuild kits, and a small funnel for filling them. All for $40. They both fired right up when I brought them home. :wings:



One is well used but still in great condition. The other is mint!

That is a huge score, reminds me that I need to sort through my 8 or so stoves I have stored in the shed.

nice

I'm excited too. All my lanterns are white gas, as is my small space heater. This makes it easy. No more having to lug around the propane and the gas. Everything will be gas from here on out.

If you decide to keep only one of those 413Gs, keep the one with the diamond hole on the side. They are built stronger (see the corners)than the oval holes.

It's also too bad someone painted red over the nice brass on the tanks when they repainted them.

Looking at the pictures closer it also looks like the cases were repainted...the latch should be all silver as should the hinges on the wind guards.

Sorry to break the news on those being repainted, but as a Coleman collector fanatic the details jump out at me.

Hopefully the paint holds up well on those like the original factory paint does

Don't mind at all. I'm actually happy to know that. I was thinking that the tanks were steel. Had no idea they were brass.

And I never even looked at those details. Like the diamonds vs: the slots.

I went back out to look and see if any of the paint would flake in those areas like the hinges. It all seems uniform and very hard. It must have been repainted many years ago, it is all faded the same over all the areas.

Thank you for that information, and the model number.

The tanks are not brass, they are steel. The brass pieces are the gas fittings coming out of the tank
