As some of you know Kez and I have spent the last 4 days in and around Toowoombah.... Arrived home 10.30pm last night after spending all day at a very interesting auction.
Firstly as KD has already reported there was very little in the way of camp ovens for sale at the Swap.
The only decent ovens I saw were the 8 inch Albion and the 24 inch base the bloke was needing a lid for, plus a heap of chinese cheapies. I ran into the bloke with the 8 inch on Sunday at Lancasters auction he did sell it ....but for $330.

Lancasters have an auction every year the day after the swap meet ,while all the serious collectors are still in town.
Mostly bloke stuff....Enamel signs, anvils, tools, oil bottles, dog traps ect. this year they had a lot of cast iron.

The link below is the online Catalogue for the auction if any one here is interested. The cast iron runs from approximatly lot 494 through to lot 574,
Some rare stuff amoungst it,,,,,lot 505      Funnel - cast iron with enamelled interior - made by 'Clarke' - star t/m - 25cm tall.
Also a cast iron bucket in there somewere,

PD the Simpson was a cast camp oven in good nick......marked with simpson logo on the lid and under the pot.
I did buy a couple of things ......one was a solid red cedar trunk...already been stripped .....just needs a coat of shellac to finish it.
They were having trouble getting a bid on it and it was gunna sell for $100.......I stuck my paw up thinking it was a bargin.
Problem is 3 other people had the same idea at exactly the same moment...... Boody thing cost me $185 in the end
Still not bad for a large red cedar trunk
Also got a few dog traps at a reasonable price
