I like the video demonstration for using the iron. I bought one of these and plan to use it. I'll get the Coleman fuel. Thanks for the informative and impressive content.
thanks so much for your help and advice i ordered new generator and will buy some coleman fuel on pay day will let you know when and if i get the iron working semper fi!!!!
thanks for reply i did try it although i got pressure i think that valve adjustment on the side is not working the large black valve in rear does work but witgout that side loopy thing working it just seems to clog
did some searching i think its called a generator my coleman takes a 604-299 think that might be the problem ao i ordered one hope it runs as nice as the one on this video!!! and thanks for reply soldier2
In response to Steve Taylor; not all gas irons have a pressure pump. Coleman's do. I'm still trying to get my iron to work. I'll be happy to help if or when I get my appliance in working order. Thanks for your comment.
They're often over priced because many people haven't seen them think they are more rare when they made lots. A couple models/colors are desirable but the blue 4 or 4a is by far the most common.
I think like the coleman stoves they need to be heated first - like a preheater - once the fuel heats it will burn the gas off well. That's why it flamed up so much at first it was burning fuel and not the heated fuel vapors, but I may be wrong.
@@bakupcpu Search on ebay for a 'spare parts' gas powered iron, one that you can get the generator off of. These irons are not as rare as one would think. I see them on ebay frequently.
hey sir sorry to be a bother but i used regular unleaded fuel is this ok there seems to be debate about fuels what do YOU use i like your iron cant wait to get mine running like that!
+msgt1942 The side lever is a tip cleaner. It operates a brass rod tipped with a tiny wire that pokes crud out of the gas orifice. The wire could be broken or the lever broken internally if the iron seen lots of use on gasoline. Coleman or camp fuel is by far the best to use. Gasoline then and even more now has lots of additives that don't vaporize and get left in the generator (the tube the side lever is connected to) and those additives cook to a hard carbonized mess. The same applies to lanterns. In fact the Coleman lanterns made for the military (model 252?) It's been a while. They had a odd shape and the tip cleaner was a tool in the spares compartment. There's a forum hosted on www.oldcolemanparts.com that may help further. I don't have any spares for irons and only a few for lamps/lanterns. But either someone on that forum or the site could get a generator to you.
+msgt1942 Yes sarge, a ball pump that has interchangeable tips will work. A plastic cone type used for beach balls will do. I used a cheap plastic K-mart pump for years before I found a real Coleman lamp pump. The iron pumps are the same as the early lamp/lantern pumps only they are about 5". Thanks you for serving our country!
It was manufactured for use with gasoline. It will still run on today's gas but you are correct in the assumption that Coleman fuel is now the better choice. There's all kinds of stuff added to our gas today and it tends to form carbon in the generator causing it to clog prematurely. It is however safe to use either fuel. If you have the pump that goes to it to pressurize the tank and wish to try it out fill the tank only about half way. Too much fuel and the pressure drops quickly.
@@reaperisgrim You sprinkled the clothes with water from a Coca Cola bottom with holes in the cap. These were the first cordless irons that didn’t need to be heated over an open fire.
What kinda fuel goes in it, I have one and it says gasoline, and well I dont want to make a mini Gasoline bomb, but I would guess coleman lantern fuel would work...
It was intended for gasoline but camp fuel has less additives and won't gum it up the generator as quickly. Lighting them without flooding is always tricky.
A man in My hometown murdered a woman with one of these last week and beat a cop in the head with it. Lucky he survived. That’s what brought me here I never knew this even existed until the murder weapon was shown on the news.
I seen the pic of it laying in the street but didn't read the story. I don't recognize which model it is other than it is a gasoline iron earlier than this one. There are likely several more items that Coleman had in their history you don't know about. They were founded manufacturing indoor house lighting, also gasoline powered. Some of the "fancy" systems had a gas tank in a utility room and liquid gasoline piped in small tubes to each fixture where the lamp converted it to vapor to be burned by a light fixture which looked much like a natural gas fixture. Although self contained lamps were far more common.

I remember ironing with an iron just like that one when I was 9 years old!!
this is actually helpful for people doing projects for school like me thanks dude
thanks so much for your help and advice i ordered new generator and will buy some coleman fuel on pay day will let you know when and if i get the iron working semper fi!!!!
Thanks for sending to DCHS members!
They work great for making grilled cheese sandwiches as well...😁
2soldierman2 can you do a video with start up procedure for the iron including pumping air, fueling,ignition,adjustment for flame.
thanks for reply i did try it although i got pressure i think that valve adjustment on the side is not working the large black valve in rear does work but witgout that side loopy thing working it just seems to clog
Can also be used in its secondary role as hand portable flame thrower.
I want one for making grill cheese sandwiches , this would rock for making them

Awesome.. I thought iron was start running like train 🚂🚋🚃🚋🚃🚋🚃 😂😂
That's dangerous as hell😮
Saw one just like this at an antique store and was tempted but decided against it.

Dangerous ironing days
Lovely piece! I do happen to have one but mine doesn't fire at all. It need a bit of TLC I think.

@@kfl611 Actually the generator was damage and of course no parts available for those anymore. I tried to fix it but failed.

I purchased one today. Mine is called "The monitor. "
I bought one called "the monitor" recently. I can't figure out the first step in how to use it.

HBO presents Tony Gasoline my iron !!
i just bought one in antique store for $29 dont have pump can i use a modern small ball pump need to take it apart and clean i think any suggestions

saludos buscando en casa de mi madre me he encontrado con una de estas alguien sabe que valoe tiene actualmente gracias
i have one of these, been sitting on the mantle for over 30 years. is there a pump to presurize the tank because mine is missing any kind of pump
Yes, they made a special iron pump for those, a little short one about 6 inches long.
I won't try this myself!
:-)
Tengo una actualmente y del mismo cólor

I'm curious to see it used on clothes. Does it get hot enough to scorch cotton?
Heck yes, they will scorch wood, these irons were made for use on wet or damp clothes, to dry and iron at the same time.
@@reaperisgrim That makes sense
@@reaperisgrim You sprinkled the clothes with water from a Coca Cola bottom with holes in the cap. These were the first cordless irons that didn’t need to be heated over an open fire.

you need white gas
damn that can set house on fire hell naw 😂😂😋
Some Amish still use them. I don't typically iron anything but did use it a time or two for giggles.
What kind of gas do you use,? Is there a procedure to igniting it?
It was intended for gasoline but camp fuel has less additives and won't gum it up the generator as quickly. Lighting them without flooding is always tricky.
@@2soldierman2 does it use a wick?
@@iowaguy6590 No wick, it burns naptha- coleman camp fuel.

Eran peligrosas
Alguien sabe el valor porfa
Why not demonstrate ironing an article of clothing?
Whats year this was Made?
1930ish to 1950ish, canadian production lasted into the 60s.
OMG... this thing is dangerous!!!!
Really, my gran used to iron the clothes with one all time. Old school, you just have to be CAREFUL !
great !!!
pressophile
Now thats old i bet
If you're gonna post a video about this , please show how you filled it with fuel and how you pumped it up to light. otherwards dont post
Last I checked my name was on the channel.
Thats not an iron. Thats a cook top.
Heeft iets schrikwekkends in zich...
first of all your hand blocked what you were doing at the beginning and then a little narration would be helpful! jeez
It was not meant to be instructional. The title doesn't say "how to" if you want a better instructional video you're free to film and upload one.
Its kerosine not gasoline. If you put there gasoline it will explode Lmao
It is in fact a gasoline powered iron. www.millioncandlepower.info/iron.html have a look here, there's even measuring cans printed as such.
It is gasoline. And it didn't explode.
