If you have ever done real backpacking and camping, this is doubtlessly an item that you are familiar with. Founded in 1900, the Coleman company has been producing camping equipment such as stoves, lanterns, and other items for over a century. When WWII broke out, they were a clear option to provide small camp stoves and lanterns for use in the field.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a standard model of the time, measuring about 8 1\/2 inches tall, and 4 inches across. It is designed to run off gasoline, either leaded or more preferably white, which did not have any additives. The stoves had no need for the lubricating properties of leaded gas, and it was also safer for the soldiers. The stove features fold out feet on the bottom and fold out burner supports on the top to increase the stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottom of the F Canister is marked \u003cstrong\u003eU.S. \/ C.M. MFG. CO. \/ 1945\u003c\/strong\u003e. The side of the brass fuel tank is marked with the maker and date information:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eU.S.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eALADDIN\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1944\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis indicates that it was definitely a military issued stove, and not a civilian version. The stove looks to be in fair overall condition, but there are parts missing including the fuel cap. The fuel valve turns, and the burner adjustment also still moves, though we have not checked to see if the needle is still present and intact. An overall good example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA great piece of WWII Field gear, which most likely saw use long after the war.
