Welcome to a Happy-Campers2 Auction!
NOTE: Please read all of the text in the description!
The Coleman Company, during World War II, produced a small Model 520 stove that were dearly loved by GIs. Capitalizing on the popularity of those stoves, Coleman produced the G.I. Model 530 Pocket Stove after World War II. Coleman also included an aluminum carry case that doubled as a cook kit.
The Model 530 Stove in this auction was made in the second half of 1946. We have auctioned off a number of these stoves over the years but don't really remember one as nice as this one!
The Cook kit/carry case is in beautiful condition with a few minor scuffs. The insides are very clean. The nickel plating on the stove is very nice. This stove does have a unique aluminum funnel and may have been one that a Coleman repairman, named Ernie Hiatt, may have had made as an aftermarket funnel! This 530 retains a heat dispersal plate and a wrench that doubles as a pot and pan handle. The stove does have a new fuel cap gasket. It has been tested and it works great!
For display or to the heat up your coffee, this nearly 78 year old beauty is ready!

PACKING: We pack your items the same way we would want to receive them. That is, we pack to minimize any chance of breakage. Lanterns are disassembled of globe, vent and bail handle. The globe is bubble wrapped and then placed in a coffee can or separate carton before being placed in the shipping carton. All other pieces are bubble wrapped and all voids are packed with suitable light weight material so that all parts are immobilized inside the shipping carton.
Fuel will be emptied from all lanterns & stove before shipping!
SHIPPING:
PLEASE NOTE! Due to items being damaged with combined shipping, we will combine only TWO won items per shipping carton!!
We use UPS Ground or USPS for the majority of our domestic shipping. International shipping is via Priority Mail International. Of course, if your item is within First Class weight limitations, we will ship First Class Mail. We will combine shipping when possible, but no more than two won items per carton! Please feel free to email us for a shipping estimate. We try to ship your item within 24 hours of received payment.
NOTE: Since we do use PayPal and eBay shipping, it is impossible for us to change the final price of an auctioned item. We are sorry, but we are unable to falsify any final sales price to avoid tariffs or other fees.
If the eBay shipping calculator appears incorrect, please contact us for a shipping estimate.
We will also attempt to find a less expensive shipping alternative when possible.
PAYMENT: We accept PayPal or credit card payments through eBay. Payment is due within 2 days of auction's end! However, if you send payment sooner, your item will ship sooner. Contact us if you have any questions regarding payment.
