Bud Michael identified this stove,
in Herman Mulder's collection,as Model 381.
The stove was refinished by Don Colston in high temperature silver paint
as the original finish may have been zinc coating.
The cast burner cap (above) can be compared
to the stamped burner cap on Model 382 below.
Coleman in Toronto made
this Model 382 Handy Hot Plate
probably in the 1930's.
This and Model 381 above appear
to be the only two cabin stove models
made in Canada by Coleman
These two models were made
in A, B, & C versions in subsequent years.
This stove is in Dave DeFrates's
collection.
Model 381B was called the
"Monarch" Standard by Coleman in Canada.
Canadian collector Jim
Hogg restored this stove which included
painting the grates with
ceramic high heat engine enamel,
applying a burgundy paint
that was close to the original baked brown paint,
and repainting the stove
base with an ivory paint.
The decal was reproduced
for Jim by Randall Adams.

Model 382B was also called the "Monarch."
Joe Pagan identified this stove from a 1938 Coleman Canada catalog.
This stove, in Lloyd Van't Haaff's collection, is different from Model 381B above
in having the control knob for the second burner on the front,
rather than the side.

in the late 1930's - carly 1940's.
The stove, in Mike Ogilvie's collection, includes
an Everdur tank and a gold decal at the right end of the tank
with lighting instructions.
Mike repainted the brown paint on the case.

The earliest Model 500 stoves were made in Toronto in 1938,
two years before they were patented and made in Wichita.
These early 500 stoves have an "L" shaped Light-Burn lever (lower left)
that was replaced by the more familiar lever with a loop
after a year of production.
This stove is date stamped C 38;
the C is for the third quarter of the year we believe.
This is a Canadian Solus
stove called "The Roarer."
The tank is brass with
steel legs and a tin grate.
Probably dating to the
early '40's, the box is labeled
"Gift of the American People
through the American Red Cross."
This stove is in Dean DeGroff's
collection.


This is the same Canadian Solus stove as above,
except that it has the "Silent Burner."
Mike Ogilvie reports that the burner is not especially silent
in spite of the burner name.
Coleman in Toronto, Canada
made this Model 500 Speedmaster stove
which is date stamped B
1943.

with olive green paint
but lacks any military
markings.
The wind shield may have
been an optional accessory from Coleman.

collection.

Coleman Canada made the Model 6-J stove after WWII.
Agostino Del Coro used high temperature silver paint
on the burners and grate when he cleaned the stove.
The stove has a small cooking surface - 15 3/4" x 10 5/8."
Instruction sheets that I have for this stove model
are in English, French, and Spanish and are dated Sept. 1946.
This Model 411 Coleman
stove
was made by Coleman
in Canada
and is in Mike Baker's
collection.

Coleman Canada made this 500 stove in January 1951,
We believe the stove, in Mike Ogilvie's collection,
has had the scalloped grate replaced with a round one.
Coleman Canada may have sold the windscreens
as an accessory or made the stoves for the military.
Please contact me if you have one of these stoves.


Above are two versions
of the Model 404 "Bushman" stove, which was made in Australia
by arrangement with "The
Coleman Lamp and Stove Company Ltd. of Canada."
The card inside the lid
of the stove on the left has a printing date of June, 1954;
it appears to be a functional
model for display and has not been fired.
The paint on these two
stoves, in David Moody's collection, is original.

The stove itself can only
be dated by the accompanying instruction sheet.

Reid's collection, also differs from the earlier 500
in having a green painted
brass fount and filler cap,
and the burner casting
is not open between the upper and lower tubes.
Coleman in Toronto, Canada,
made this Speedmaster Model 500B
stove, dated Jan, 1972,
