Any Coleman camp stove collectors here?

I just picked up a Coleman camp stove model 431. It is brand new in the original box complete with all paperwork and even has the original packing paper. Obviously it has never been lit. A quick search show they were made in Toronto from about 1965 to 1980.
Anybody have an idea on its value? If I don’t decide to keep it I would love to see it go to a collector who will appreciate it.

That is an excellent stove. Just because it doesn't use propane does not mean it can't be useful. Most of those stoves were multi-fuel, you can cook off almost everything that burns. White gas is the best of course. Hope you enjoy it or find it a good home. They seem to sell between $20 and $80 on eBay and my local classifieds.

I have found Coleman stoves on Ebay and in thrift stores for more than a new one costs. I know for a collector that is not important but I buy things like that to use and not sit on a shelf. I did find a lantern at a thrift store, in the box, for $8 and it is a fine working model so it isn't all a hunt for hopefully possibly working items.
Good hunting.

That price range is typical I think. I have 3 of these (might be the 413's though) and I've started using propane with them and they work great. Hate the newer ones that you can't store the propane bottle in but you can store it in these nicely, just like the original fuel container.

431's are very common, we own about 7 vintage stoves and 6 vintage tents that I need to go through, they are slowly going up in value.
