    I have this monster funnel. Presently getting derusted. I believe it is the largest one Coleman made. 2A.jpg IMG_4190__1611855067_90753.jpg

    Yes, it is bigger by quite a margin. They should have a bail but I've yet to find one with it. Anti-splash lip is a cool feature, and interesting that Coleman marketed it for outboard motors. A very environmentally conscious company for 1941!

    Nice find!

    @MikeO
    Do you have any literature that shows this ?

    Hi Blueflame,

    Here's a couple of ads from '38 and '41 Coleman Canada catalogues. You'll note that these only list a #2 funnel with a removable splash lip. The next catalogue I have access to is 1946 and the number 2 listing has disappeared. I'll keep hunting because I'm positive I've seen a listing and drawing for the 2A in a catalogue.
