I picked up a Coleman 425F dual burner stove from my neighbor's yard sale. They purchased it in the mid to late 80's and never used it. My son came running home and said they had the stove, new in the box, for $5.
I'm hoping this is the date. It says 64, if so this thing is in very good shape.Don't know If you model is so marked but if you look at the mounting tab on the fuel tank most show the manufacturing date on the bottom side of the tab.
Looks like a great find. I've had an old Coleman for several decades and it never fails to work perfectly. I've found that using Coleman fuel or a third party equivalent you can preclude the problems caused by unleaded. Little more expensive but worth it in my opinion.

I'm a lifelong fettler, as I'm sure most of us here are. I can remember taking a tricycle apart with my dad's adjustable wrench when I was still in single digits.Guys, here's a link to a useful web site about old stoves and fettling. You youngsters may not know the term fettling.
Hope you find it useful especially for info on older models no longer manufactured. Plus excellent info on making repairs.

I certainly can relate growing up on a ranch where we fixed everything. After all these decades I'm still the same, no job to difficult. My wife says I have a "blue collar" PHD.
