Vintage Coleman 501-960 Cooking Kit w/ 502 stove & box from Sept. 1979

Description

For sale is a vintage Coleman 501-960 cook-kit with its original box and booklet and a vintage 502 stove. This item is an estate sale find, and as such,
there is some wear to the items
. The cook-kit is in good shape, with some wear. There is some discoloration on the detachable handle and marks from use on the inside of the kit, but there are no noticeable dents and it is in good shape. The box is very clearly used and has a good bit of wear from age. The stove has been tested and working. It was tested on low-fuel, with older fuel, and as such the heat took some time to get high and pulsed slightly at the beginning. The tank holds pressure and the plunger works just fine. I have lit it in the past and it worked just fine, and I recently lit it again to get photos and let it run for 20 minutes to ensure it holds a flame — pictures of the flame were taken after about 15 minutes. Stove is working just fine, and newer fuel may even improve the flame. The body of the stove looks great — there is only a small chip on the bottom, with some slight rusting. Threading on the fuel cap also looks good. There is no other noticeable rusting or corrosion. On the bottom, the stove is clearly dated 09/79. Great item for a nice, retro outdoor cookout.
Item will be sold
