I also have a Coleman tent from the same time. I pulled it out once or twice for the kids. It is still in great condition.

The Coleman stove that I have was bought by my mom sometime in the latter half of the 1960s, after she bought the 1966 C/10 and "Desert Camper" so we could go camping and fishing. (I was a fishing nut back then!)
Then somewhere along the way I/we got it from her after she and my stepfather got into fancy RVs and didn't do any more cooking out on tables. Probably came with the 71 K10 around 1983. It worked great for years and years but then one time I burnt my hand trying to put it away after it
should have been cooled off.
I bought a Coleman single burner just to go camping by myself, but it's almost like cooking on a flamethrower. I'd like to get the old green two burner working right again now that we have the Silverado and the Leer.
I don't think you can even buy a Coleman gasoline stove anymore? At least there was nothing at the store when I looked. They all use those stupid little throwaway propane cannisters
