Joe, I have the exact stove, It belong to my father many years ago and he left it to me. He used to own and run a survival camp in the appalachian mountains in NY called SANLO Safari. It was his back packing stove. I have the original aluminum case for it that turns in a cooking pot and the top becomes a frying pan the top has a small notch on it and has a tool to attach to it for the handle . it is the very first piece of camping equipment I ever got and still operates like the day it was made. Good old Coleman products! I will try to take a picture of the aluminum case for you in case you come across one at a garage sale or something. I don't carry my stove with me anymore because i am deathly afraid of the white fuel, its so flammable and camping with my kids has me sticking with propane stoves. I enjoyed that stove on many of my early back pack trips in harriman state park as a kid.

Nothing beats the old Coleman stoves.  I got my Dad's double burner stove from the 60's that still works great.  Only had to replace the fuel pump. 

I bought a single burner stove like yours for the tenting in the back country but it does not look as sturdy as yours.

Awesome find, and I really love the vintage stuff. Not sure if a single burner is something I would use regularly with a whole hungry crew around but it would be great to bring down by a lakeside to heat something up for lunch or to perc some coffee in the morning.
