Rare 1959 Coleman 500A Single Burner Gas Stove with Optional Drum Heater. This stove comes from my Coleman collection of many years. It’s a 500A, manufactured in June of 1959. Coleman introduced the 500A Sportsmaster stove in 1954 to replace the older 500 Speedmaster. The 500A is easily recognized from its predecessor by the green painted steel fount and Coleman decal. It also features a round grate and larger filler hole and cap. The 500A stove was made in Wichita, KS until 1962 when it was replaced by the smaller model 501 and shortly thereafter the Coleman model 502. This is a used stove and works beautifully, as I have lit it many times while camping. (Please note this is not the smaller Coleman 501/502 stoves, but the much larger 500A). Coleman never made an accessory heat drum, but the Ramp-Site Products Co. In Oklahoma City, OK made the one included here. Its called The Drum Heater, No. This stove also includes a hand-made WW-II style windscreen.
