I just bought a Falkirk 12 inch at a garage sale and was thinking of listing it on eBay and was wondering what it's worth - looks like a normal camp oven with legs not the more fancy looking Sth African ones ??

Any photos????

I see you have listed it on ebay.

What are the more fancy Sth African ones? :-/

Looks like the baby of your big one Rory.

That Falkirk would have been made in South Africa and is not one of the old Scottish made Falkirk ovens IMO.

It looks a lot different Derek, My big Oven is a Carron.

I agree Jeff , the number on the lid is a give away, its a dead ringer for a Falkirk Potjie Lid I have, except the lid size and number is different. My lid is smaller and its a No2

As a side note, do we really want the history section cluttered up by people with one post asking for advise on what their oven is worth, so that they can then sell it? 
In my opinion this whole thread belongs else where.

Take more notice next time Derek.   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Falkirk still make camp ovens in South Africa.  They call them bake pots over there.  As with the Chinese the new ones have different ears.

Don't know what he picked it up for but the bidding has taken off with it sitting at $280 with 23 bids.

As an aside it annoys me when someone posts like this as a first post and then never returns to the forum.  Or has not as yet.

I think he used the forum up for a bit of free advertising.

She went for $340.  There are some rich collectors out there  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Been re-listed with a starting bid of $75.00.  Or he had two of them :)

Looks like the buyer had second thoughts when it came to parting with the cash. Thats a lot for a 12 inch

I just noticed he has tacked this on to the bottom of the description
(Bidders with no feedback will be deleted
If you don't want it or aren't sure please don't bid - all you're doing is wasting everyone's time)
;D

I reckon he would have been rubbing his hands with glee when the bidding stopped last time.  Someone changed their mind.

Mind you have had that happen.

I also have two items here I sold on eBay three years ago that were paid for using paypal and were never collected.  Bidders just ignored all correspondence.  Only small things at $10 and $25 but still odd.
