Coleman Campstove 425F Refurb -Stupid Project #4

These stoves are around $100.00. I find them at Thrift stores for under $10.00.
Some sanding and new paint, goes a long way to make these stoves last forever.

Tip-You can find out how old a Coleman Stove is by looking at the numbers on the bottom of the stove.
