Greetings, I've got the opportunity to obtain this unusual Heater. I was hoping you folks could help me in Identifying it and giving any information, as to: Cleaning/Refurbishing? Fuel? How to Light? Replacement Parts? Model? Dates of Manufacture? Scarcity? Any and all info will be GREATLY appreciated! Stovost
Coleman fuel or an equivalent would be the best fuel to use. That model of heater turns up once in a while, but they are not common. The link below shows a 1928 advert, but the library is only open to subscribers. Restore it as you would restore any other pressure product which uses Coleman fuel. That heater appears to be complete except for the guard and a guard can be made and i have seen new mantles made from wire mesh. You may get more precise advice on the Coleman Collectors Forum, Jeff. http://0flo.com/index.php?threads/8233
