Old camping gear help.

[Sterling]

I recently picked up some old camping gear, and I'm hoping someone can give a value on the "coleman 3f stove" with the original box....here are the picks of the gear I picked..

 

Amazon Forum Fav 👍

Agony and Death on a Gold Rush Steamer: The Disastrous Sinking of the Side-Wheeler Yankee Blade - Grab it through Amazon!

Depends on what shape it is in and if it still works.

I do not know anyone who collects camping gear, but I know lots of people like me who feel older is better.

Got any pics

There is a Coleman collectors forum...and other sites to help date.
Maybe made in the thirties.
The box will help with collectors bidding.

I'd be patient finding a value on the 3f.
The copper (war related/material supply affected) tank and burner design are steps in the stoves part in development/evolution history.
Not finding any for sale in a quick search,and some of the collectors comments suggest it's a prize to the right person.
Many were brown. Yours being green and having the sticker adds more time to find out if the color adds to rarity...
Patient good luck to you.
My younger stoves list. When for sale, around original to double original price, depending on condition and box or not; but are more common.
Finding what a collector has paid for a similar lately would give the best idea of potential value ,with consideration of condition factoring.
The stoves can be restored though and some collectors are simply looking for particular models or parts.
Yours looks pretty nice.

The other stove looks like a Prest-O-Lite?
That will keep you patient on old stove sites too.

Nice scores!

Can't help on price but I'd start the bidding at $200 for the one in the box based on similar vintage Coleman stoves. You'll find much info. here as far as identification and dates on pieces. Gas Pressure Lanterns, Lamps, Stoves, and Irons

The brown one mentioned- 1930's Brown Coleman Model 3F 2 Burner Campstove Brown 10 Folding Hi Stand | eBay

Nice scores!

It's a Prentiss Wabers Stove Model no.4 that dates to around 1925 or so. About half way down the page. Stove manufacturers I - P Another good one if all the parts are there. Heck everything pictured is good and old and collectible. The Coleman quick lite is no exception.

Paid 100.00 for it all+ I have the original stove stand...
